Here's the thing, 78% of you are picking Gillian here, and I am as well, but we can't ignore that her takedowns suck. They just do. Gillian is the all time submission queen, but she still has dog shit takedowns and Amanda has solid takedown defense. She just defended 9 of Tatiana Suarez's takedowns, before that she defended 4 of Virna's, before that 2 of Dern's. She can defend takedowns and outside of Dern, Gillian's might the worst in this list. I am still going to pick Gillian because I do think her relentless forward pressure and takedown attempts will keep Lemos on her back foot and low volume in the striking. Gillian is the pick, but this one could get weird.

Amanda Lemos

Amanda Lemos is a Muay Thai striker with fast hands and a ton of power. For the most part she does a good job keeping her fights at Muay Thai range to avoid takedowns. She has plenty of power and solid BJJ but can lose the scrambles and transitions. She has been at the top of the division for a while now and thats reflected in her slate of competition. She is coming off the decision loss to Tatiana Suarez where she spent the entire fight defending takedowns off the cage.

Gillian Robertson

Gillian Robertson is a grappler. She averages close to 3 takedowns per fight and has 9 submission which gives her the record for most finishes in the women's flyweight division. Her ability to get women to the ground and submit them is very important because her striking is not good enough to hang in most fights. In fact, I would venture to say that anyone with decent takedown defense and solid striking will beat her. She is coming off the finish win over Marina Rodriguez
