Here's the match video of Taila Santos vs Gillian Robertson from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Flyweight. Taila was supposed to fight Montana De La Rosa a couple of weeks ago. One of Montana's cornermen tested positive for COVID-19. Gillian was supposed to fight Andrea Lee last week. Andrea broke her nose during training. Gillian is from Niagara Falls, ON but she trains with Din Thomas in Florida. She's a wrestler but her striking is terrible. Taila trains at Astra Fight Club in Santa Catarina, Brazil. She's mainly a striker. We hadn't seen her on the ground yet. Gillian immediately goes for a flying armbar. But she winds up in bottom position. And though she attempts submissions, Taila has good defense and is able to avoid trouble. Taila doesn't advance her position much. But she does enough that ref Mark Smith warns her but never breaks them up. So I scored the fight 30-27 for Taila. Two of the judges scored it 30-26 for Taila and the third judge scored it 29-28. So a big win for Taila. I guess Gillian got beaten at her own game. Enjoy the video!
