Breakdown
Veronica Macedo vs. Gillian Robertson
Robertson is a strong wrestler and submission artist against a woman in Macedo whose takedown defense has failed her time and again in the Octagon. Andrea Lee, a terrific striker but mediocre wrestler, took down Macedo three times on five attempts. I fully expect Robertson to have an even easier time of it. Gillian may or may not punch hard enough to knock her out, but I believe she will submit Macedo.

Outcome:
Gillian Robertson defeats Veronica Macedo via Submission (rear-naked choke) at 3:27 of round 2.
Robertson kept after Macedo on the canvas until she quickly and deftly took Macedo’s back, then sank in a rear-naked choke to force the tap at the 3:27 mark of the middle round. She stayed with her game plan till it paid off. “I was just attacking, attacking, attacking – the rear-naked choke is my favorite thing,” Robertson said.
