Taps out in Jacksonville
Roberson lost to Brendan Allen via submission (heel hook) at 4:55 of Round 1 at UFC 261 on Saturday in Jacksonville.
ANALYSIS
Roberson's inconsistent ways continue. Despite having twice as many submission victories (4) on his ledger than knockouts (2), Roberson made an inexcusable mistake on the mat in the later stages of Round 1, and it cost him. With the seconds ticking away, "Baby K" attempted to roll out of the way and instead handed Allen the submission attempt that ended the fight. Eight fights into his UFC run, Roberson has proven to be nothing more than roster depth. His record with the company is just .500 (4-4) and he has had all sorts of difficulty against better competition. There isn't much to see here.

Taking on Allen at UFC 261
Roberson (illness) will fight Brendan Allen at UFC 261 on April 24, Marcel Dorff of MMADNA reports.
ANALYSIS
Roberson is coming off a bout with COVID-19 back in December that led to his fight with Dalcha Lungiambula to be cancelled. His most recent action came last June when he lost to Marvin Vettori via submission. He'll look to get back on track against Allen, who is coming off a loss of his own against Sean Strickland in November.

Fight called off due to COVID-19
Roberson's upcoming fight against Dalcha Lungiambula was called off due to Roberson's battle with COVID-19, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The matchup was originally scheduled for Dec. 12 before being delayed a week to give Roberson time to recover from his symptoms. That evidently wasn't enough, so the fight has now been called off. Whether or not it will be rescheduled again for a later date remains to be seen.
