Raphael Marinho of Combate reported two women's Flyweight bouts added to UFC 240 July 27 at Rogers Place in Edmonton. The first is Gillian Robertson vs Sarah Frota. The second is Mara Romero Borella vs Lauren Murphy. Gillian is 24 years old from Niagara Falls, ON and she trains with Din Thomas at American Top Team in Florida. Her record is 6-3 and 3-1 in the UFC. I like Gillian because she's a finisher. Sarah is 31 years old from Brazil. Her record is 9-1. She lost her UFC debut by split decision to Livinha Souza. She was on the Brazilian Dana White Contender Series. That fight was at Strawweight and Sarah missed weight by eight pounds. So she has moved up to Flyweight. Sarah is a striker who is terrible on the ground. Gillian will try to take her down and submit her. Mara is 32 years old from Italy but she trains at American Top Team in Florida. Her record is 12-5-2NC and 2-1 in the UFC. She won her last fight over Taila Santos by split decision. She didn't look very good. Lauren is from Alaska but she trains at MMA Lab in Phoenix with John Crouch. Her record is 10-4 and 2-4 in the UFC. Lauren is a striker with no ground game and she's ineffective. All her fights tend to be close because she doesn't do enough to win decisively. She's been like this since her Invicta days. She'll lose a close fight and then whine about it. She's pretty bad. I haven't seen anything from Mara to make me think she can win decisively either. So I am expecting three rounds of nothing and a possible split decision.
