Gillian Robertson believes the time has come to fight for the strawweight belt (up to 52,2 kg). After a dominant performance, where she defeated Brazilian Amanda Lemos via unanimous decision by the judges at UFC Vegas 114 , this past Saturday (14), the Canadian stated that a title fight is the only scenario that makes sense in the organization now.

During the post-event press conference, Robertson highlighted her numbers within the organization and argued that she has the most wins, finishes, and submissions among women in the UFC. According to the fighter, these achievements justify the opportunity to challenge Mackenzie Dern for the title in her next fight.

“We want this title fight. That’s where I belong, that’s my next step. And just to be clear, I’m asking for this opportunity… I think it’s the only thing that makes sense right now. It’s five wins in a row.”

"I have the most wins among women, the most finishes, and the most submissions. So I believe I deserve this chance," Gillian Robertson declared at the press conference.

The American, who also holds Brazilian citizenship through her father, Megaton Dias, is still waiting for the UFC to schedule her first title defense.
