Gillian Robertson’s Most Savage Moments

Take a look back at some of Gillian Robertson’s most “Savage” moments so far.

At just 25 years old, Canadian submission ace Gillian Robertson already holds a handful of UFC records.

Robertson is currently tied with Roxanne Modafferi and Katlyn Chookagian for the most fights (nine) in the UFC women’s flyweight division.

In those nine fights, Robertson has secured the most submissions (four) by a woman in UFC history. She also currently has the most stoppage wins in UFC women’s flyweight history (five) and she has the most wins in the division’s history (six).
