Canadian flyweight Gillian Robertson used her superior grappling skills to dominate Brazil’s Poliano Botelho, en route to a unanimous decision win Saturday night.

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Canadian flyweight Gillian Robertson used her superior grappling skills to dominate Brazil’s Poliano Botelho en route to a unanimous decision win Saturday night on a UFC Fight Night card.

Ranked 15th among the UFC’s 125-pound contenders, Robertson had finished her opponent in her previous five UFC victories, tying a promotion record. Her sixth flyweight victory is a UFC record. She received her black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu from coach Din Thomas in her first day out of quarantine at Abu Dhabi.

Botelho fought off an early Robertson takedown attempt as the fight started. The Brazilian then lashed Robertson with a leg kick and showed good balance in resisting a single-leg takedown attempt.

'There are hotspots everywhere': COVID-19 second wave is taking a serious toll on our mental health📌 Canadians’ concerns about COVID-19 are surging again. 📌 What the selection of Annamie Paul as Green Party leader will mean for federal politics. 📌 Why Joe Biden's lead may not be so comfortably large as the polls would have you believe.
