Danny Roberts will look to increase his winning streak to three when he takes on resurgent Brazilian submission specialist, Claudio Silva, at UFC London on March 16.
UFC announced the welterweight fight through its social media feeds Thursday.
Roberts (16-3-0) is coming off two wins, his latest being a split-decision nod over short-notice replacement and UFC debutant, David Zawada, at UFC Hamburg. Ahead of his Hamburg outing, “Hot Chocolate” stopped Swedish prospect Oliver Enkamp with a blistering first-round knockout at last year’s London event.
The Brit is currently 5-2-0 under the UFC banner.
