UFC veteran Karl Roberson has had a solid career in mixed martial arts but transitioned to bare knuckle after testing the waters in bare-knuckle MMA. He most recently fought in Gamebread but before then he had a 10 fight run in the UFC fighting high level opponents like Marvin Vetori, Brenden Allen and Khalil Roundtree Jr. He punched his ticket to the highest level of MMA through the Contender Series after knocking out Ryan Spann early in round one.

With a foundational style of kickboxing, Roberson’s game is very well-rounded and he can fight anywhere. He was more known for his ground game in MMA with a majority of his wins and losses coming by submission but in the Squared Circle, he will push a pace and look for a finish early. Fighting out of Neptune, New Jersey, Karl Roberson made his promotional debut at BKFC 82 Newark against Oluwale Bamgbose on October 4, 2025.
