Overview

  • Robertson defeated former title challenger Amanda Lemos by unanimous decision with 29-28 scores from all three judges at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas on March 14.
  • Takedowns, extended top control and late ground-and-pound carried the co-main event for the Canadian after a tough opening round on the feet.
  • The victory pushed her winning streak to five as she highlighted holding the UFC women’s records for most finishes and most submissions.
