Karl Roberson Isn’t Planning For His ‘War’ With Glover Teixeira at UFC on ESPN+ 1

Karl Roberson spoke with MMAjunkie ahead of his fight with Glover Teixeira at UFC on ESPN+ 1. Highlights are below:

On not having a big gameplan for the fight: “This isn’t a technical fight. This is going to be a war. We can’t prepare for each other, so it’s pretty much bite down on the mouthpiece, sling some punches, and who goes to sleep.”

On Teixeira saying he’ll be more cautious in the fight: “Everybody thinks they’re going to change until they get hit, right, and then it turns into a slugfest. So I’m going to bring him back to his old ways, and he’s going to try and take me out. Plus, he’s already mad because I’m Corey (Anderson’s) boy. He took a loss from Corey, so he’s definitely going to come out and try and make a statement.”

On his advantage in the fight: “He’s not going to have a choice but to bang with me. I’m faster, younger and I have way better conditioning than he does.”
