Prediction
Klein’s powerful striking and ability to mix in submissions make him a dangerous opponent, but Roberts’ size advantage and grappling may pose a challenge. If Klein can avoid the clinch and takedowns, he will have the edge in striking exchanges. However, if Roberts can impose his wrestling, he has a good chance to control the fight on the ground.
