DENVER – Buddy Roberts survived a Yushin Okami flurry at the end of the first, but that didn’t help him in the second.
After being saved by the bell in the first round with Okami on his back raining down punches, Roberts found himself in a similar position in the second, but with far too much time left to be saved. Okami earned the stoppage at 3:05 of the frame.
The middleweight bout was part of the main card of Saturday’s UFC 150 event at Pepsi Center in Denver. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook.
