Robertson believes her upcoming title bout is the culmination
of an eventful and turbulent run in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship .

Dern (16-5) for the strawweight championship in the UFC 330
co-main event at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. The
challenger has claimed that it feels like her “destiny” to compete
for and win the championship. Gillian Robertson is excited by grappler vs. grappler
matchup
Robertson, who has 20 UFC fights on her record, has grown through
several ups and downs during her time in the promotion. She
competed on the 26th edition of “The Ultimate Fighter” in 2017 and
has 14 wins inside the Octagon, including 10 finishes. The Canadian
is now riding a five-fight win streak.
Ahead of her maiden title fight, “The Savage” is eager to add
championship gold to her UFC run and thrilled about the matchup
against a fellow submission specialist.
“I think this matchup, since she [Dern] got into the UFC, people
have been asking me about it,” Robertson said in a recent
interview. “So, I think it’s something that was years in the making
and the fact that it's for the title, it's destiny.”
Robertson has the record for most submissions in UFC strawweight
history, with Dern in second place. "It's something that was years in
the making and the fact that it's for the title, it's destiny." Gillian
Robertson ( @savage_ufc )
believes this is the perfect time and opportunity for her to become
