Roosevelt Roberts kept his undefeated record (and 100 percent finish rate) in tact with an absolute mugging of Garrett Gross over the course of more than seven minutes of lightweight action. Roberts (6-0) put on a grappling showcase against Gross (11-8), who wasn’t able to stop the offense from coming his way before he tapped out to a second-round submission in the featured bout at Dana White’s Contender Series 15, which took place took place at The Ultimate Fighter Gym in Las Vegas. The win earned him one of four contracts dished out by UFC President Dana White on the penultimate episode of Season 2, along with Ian Heinisch , Jordan Griffin and Juan Adams . The desire to win the fight by submission was evident from the opening bell, when Roberts went right after Gross and tried to jump on a guillotine. He got top position through a big takedown and was absolutely relentless from on top. He mixed up ground-and-pound and submission attempts, putting what was arguably a 10-8 round on his opponent.
