Roberts was curious to see what the Swede's potential would be in the world of fighting. “Ibra” has a black belt in karate and has stated in the past that, If he didn't have talent for football, he would try MMA: “I'm a big UFC fan, so I would probably be in the UFC, in martial arts. I see myself doing well in this”, he commented.
The English fighter then offered to be Ibrahimovic's rival. “If he wants to fight, I’m here. Yes, I would like to see him in the octagon, see what he has to show. At the same time, it would give us a little more value and what we do. I could make weight at any time”, he said, in an interview with the English newspaper “Daily Mirror”.
Roberts returns to the UFC octagon this Saturday (8), in a fight against Mike Perry. The event takes place in Manchester, England, the same city where Ibrahimovic plays for Manchester United.
