Roosevelt Roberts is getting a quick turnaround after his win at UFC Sunrise.
Just weeks after pushing his Octagon record to 2-0 with a victory over Thomas Gifford, the undefeated lightweight prospect Roberts has agreed to face Vinc Pichel on June 29 at UFC Minneapolis. UFC officials confirmed the booking to MMA Fighting on Tuesday.
A Bellator veteran and product of the UFC’s Contender Series, Roberts (8-0) debuted in the Octagon last November with a first-round submission of Darrell Horcher. He followed that up by outpointing Gifford en route to a unanimous decision at UFC Sunrise.
