Gillian Robertson continued her quest for a strawweight title opportunity, defeating Amanda Lemos in a three-round war at UFC Vegas 114.
After struggling to punch her way inside, Robertson was finally able to close the distance and score the first takedown of the fight just past the halfway point of the opening round. However, it was Lemos who would find success on the ground, lighting up Robertson with a series of nasty elbows before nearly locking in a kimura.
Robertson ultimately scrambled her way out of the hold and racked up a bit more control time, but there’s no denying that the first five minutes belonged to Lemos.
