Danny Roberts will look to break a two-fight losing skid when he fights Jonny Parsons at UFC London on July 22.
Roberts, 35, lost back-to-back fights against Francisco Trinaldo and Jack Della Maddalena last year but hopes to turn over a new leaf against Parsons in his first of 2023. Injuries have plagued Roberts' career in recent years as the UFC veteran hasn't won a fight since beating Ramazan Emeev by controversial decision in October 2021.
Parsons, 31, was signed to the UFC debut after winning a split decision against Solomon Renfro on the Contender Series in 2021. 'The Sluggernaut' was supposed to make his debut for the promotion last February against Michael Gillmore but was forced out of the fight due to injury. Parsons caught the attention of fight fans in 2020 after a string of impressive wins for Jorge Masvidal's iKON FC promotion.
