Gillian Robertson Eyes Title Shot in UFC Vegas 114 Co-Main vs. Amanda Lemos

The Canadian grappler says a decisive win over the former title challenger would justify facing champion Mackenzie Dern.

Overview

  • Robertson meets Lemos on Saturday in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 269 (UFC Vegas 114) at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas.
  • She has won five of six since moving to strawweight and holds the UFC women’s record for submission victories, tying the all-time female mark for finishes at 10.
  • Robertson argues a strong result should secure a shot at Mackenzie Dern, framing it as a long-anticipated clash of elite grapplers.
  • Lemos, returning after a September loss, says she plans to stifle takedowns and score a knockout to re-enter contention.
  • This matchup was rebooked after their December fight was canceled on fight day due to a Lemos mouth injury, and reporting notes a possible Zhang Weili return could complicate the title queue.
