Steele looked fine on the feet in this bout, but his takedown defense betrayed him, as he allowed McGee to land four takedowns over the course of the bout. Steele has an aggressive, unique style of fighting, but he doesn't excel in any one particular area. He is now 1-3 in his last four fights and is going to be fighting for his job next time out.

Steele lost to Danny Roberts via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC 197 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Steele got the far better of the grappling battle, which was no surprise giving how strong he is, but he lost the total strike battle by a count of 71-45 and he landed just two of his nine takedown attempts. Still, the fight was close and nobody would have been second guessing the judge's decision if it had been Steele who had gotten the win. Steele is now 1-2 in the UFC, although he has proven himself to be a pretty solid fighter for a guy who entered the company as a late injury replacement in July of last year.
