Combate in Brazil reported yesterday that Gillian Robertson vs Mayra Bueno Silva has been added to UFC Fight Night 137 Sept. 22 at Ginasio do Iberapuera in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This will likely air on the UFC Fight Pass prelims. This fight is at Flyweight. Gillian is 23 years old from Niagara Falls, ON. She trains at American Top Team in Florida with Din Thomas. Her record is 5-2 and 2-0 in the UFC. She won her last fight in May over Molly McCann with a second round rear naked choke. She fought at Strawweight before appearing on TUF 26. It's possible that not having to cut as much weight has helped her. She has looked good at Flyweight. Mayra is 27 years old. She trains at Chute Boxe in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Her record is 5-0. She won a UFC contract with a win over Mayana Kerllen on the Brazil edition of Dana White's Contender Series. Coming from the Brazilian regional circuit to the UFC is a big step and who knows if she's up to it. We'll find out.
