Luana Pinheiro vs. Gillian Robertson
PINHEIRO VS ROBERTSON

In theory Luana Pinheiro has decent takedown defense and solid striking, so she should be able to beat Gillian. But we saw her get mollywopped by Angela Hill. MMA math doesn't always work, but if Angela Hill is taking you down and submitting you, so is the divisions submission Queen. This has to be a straight forward pick for Gillian Robertson.

Luana Pinheiro

Luana Pinhero is a powerful striker with solid takedowns and decent BJJ. She averages more than 2 takedowns per fight and has no problem swiging wild while running forward. She is a high volume fighter with knockdowns in a third of her UFC fights. She is coming off the loss to Angela Hill where she somehow was finished by the least dangerous fighter in the division.

Gillian Robertson

Gillian Robertson is a grappler. She averages a little over 2 takedowns per fight and has 9 submission wins. In fact has the 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 decision win over a retiring Karate Hottie.
