Prediction: wrong Roberts   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

patrick has been good, but not super impressive in his ufc wins. plus, roberts' submission game plays into patrick's wrestling game... i think. actually, how much of an offensive guard does roberts have?

From everything I've seen from Daniel Roberts, he attacks for submissions constantly.  As for Claude Patrick, I thought of him as mostly a submission artist also, not as a wrestler. Is he a more accomplished wrestler than I thought?

Yeah, Gregory, I kind of thought of him as a submission guy too. I don't really know anything about his credentials, but he does have good takedowns and top control, so his wrestling seems pretty solid.

Roberts is a good jits guy. Will be a good stage for him to show off his skills.

I really like this matchup..think Patrick will set a good pace and be able to outwork and out wrestle Roberts.  Wonder how much of a effect all the big fights the CGJJ team in a close time and the same card will have on Roberts training?

I hate going against Randy, I just don't think that he'll be quick enough to beat Machida.

Imo this is a matchup of two rather similar styles again. In his last three fights, Roberts has always delivered what i expected him to, and in this fight i see him winning again. Roberts Sub 2

As long as Roberts can avoid being subbed, he'll get a UD.

Prediction: wrong Roberts   wrong Decision  

A LOT of submission wins in each man's history, which means I'm expecting an ugly kickboxing match. Without a deeper knowledge of these fighters, I'm seeing this as a toss-up and am going with Patrick as he has actually won a fight by TKO in the past.

In the battle of two very solid grapplers, the safe pick is the guy you think can spend the most time on top.
