Roosevelt Roberts
Wants to fight:[autotag]Matt Frevola[/autotag]
The callout: “Hey, look. It ain’t nothing personal against this man – well, it kinda is personal – but Matt Frevola, I’m on your ass. I’ve got somebody else in mind, but my manager told me to wait off a little bit, so I’m going to wait off a little bit. But Matt Frevola, you’re my next target. So go out there, do what you’ve got to do when your fight comes, and you better sign that contract because my name will be the first one on it. Let’s get it.”
The reality: After a dynamic performance inside the cage, [autotag]Roosevelt Roberts[/autotag] followed up with an equally dynamic display in his post-fight interview as he set up his next fight perfectly by calling out the man he was originally due to face April 25.
Roberts and Frevola were booked in separate matchups following the cancellation of that event. But following his win over Brok Weaver at UFC on ESPN 9, Roberts made clear his desire to pick up where he left off and fulfill that original booking.
It’s a fight that clearly made sense to the UFC’s matchmakers a couple months back. If Frevola can pick up a victory against Frank Camacho when he returns to action June 20, the fight may make even more sense later this year.
