Here's the match video of Gillian Robertson vs Mariya Agapova from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Flyweight. Gillian is from Niagara Falls, ON but she has trained with Din Thomas in Florida for years. She can submit anyone if she can get them on the mat. But her striking isn't good enough to set up takedowns. She has lost fights because of that. She is now training with Asim Zaidi at Goat Shed. Maybe he can improve her striking. Mariya probably shouldn't be in the UFC. She lost when she was on Contender's Series in 2019. She got into the UFC as a short notice replacement. Her record is 2-2 in the UFC. She trains at ATT. In round one, Gillian immediately tried for a takedown and was met with elbows to the head. That's typical of how she loses fights. So Mariya won round one. But in round two, Gillian set up her takedown a lot better and she put Mariya to sleep with a rear naked choke. So we saw the good and bad of Gillian Robertson. I hope her new coach can improve her striking. Enjoy the video!
