Following two consecutive defeats, Danny Roberts stepped into the ring at the CSKA Arena with no choice but to make up for his losses. Facing Zelim Imadaev in a welterweight fight, the Brit was fearless, accepting the challenge, as usual. Tough but still relatively young (24 years old), the Russian fighter slowed down in the second round, leaving Roberts an opening to land some strikes.
