Roberts Learned Lesson the Hard Way; Set for Soto at UFC 125

Daniel Roberts felt he was ahead on the scorecards when he got caught with a powerful left hand from John Howard that knocked him out and pinned his first and only loss to his otherwise stellar record. That was last March and the Cesar Gracie-trained grappler has reeled off a pair of wins inside the octagon since then and is poised to take on Greg Soto Saturday night at UFC 125. Sherdog.com’s Greg Savage sat down with Roberts after a training session at Gilbert Melendez’s El Nino Training Center last week to discuss his upcoming bout. Roberts delves into the mistakes that cost him his only defeat, breaks down Soto’s style and opines on why he thinks he will come out on top this weekend.
