Which Contender Series lightweight will shine in his UFC Apex return?
Two lightweight graduates from Dana White’s Contender Series return to the UFC Apex looking to score a big win.
[autotag]Roosevelt Roberts[/autotag] has fought four times since earning his deal in July 2018, and has looked good in his three wins under the UFC banner. [autotag]Brok Weaver[/autotag], meanwhile, has fought just once, with his disqualification win over Rodrigo Vargas leaving him disappointed and leaving fans without the chance to see the exciting Alabama native’s come-forward fighting style.

The style matchup between the pair should make for an exciting bout while the mental approach of both men could serve to accentuate their skills on fight night. Slick technician Roberts (9-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) is the man with momentum and the edge in UFC experience, while aggressive powerhouse Weaver (15-4 MMA, 1-0 UFC) will arrive at the Apex looking to rekindle some of the all-action style that saw him earn his UFC contract in August 2019.
The fight should deliver fireworks, but whose career will skyrocket after the fight on Saturday?
