Gillian 'The Savage' Robertson is a Canadian veteran finally getting her first title shot after a decade-long, 25-fight grind through the UFC's flyweight and strawweight divisions. She holds the record for the most submission wins in UFC women's history and has quietly become one of the toughest outs at 115 pounds. A five-fight win streak — including a knockout of Marina Rodriguez and a decision over former title challenger Amanda Lemos — earned her this shot. She's a relentless scrambler who drags fights into chaos and hunts the back. Nobody handed her anything; she earned every inch of this opportunity.
