Easy win over heavy opponent
Robertson defeated Priscila Cachoeira via submission (Rear-naked choke) at 4:59 of Round 1 at UFC 269 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's Robertson's seventh victory at flyweight, placing her second in UFC history behind current champion Valentina Shevchenko. Not only did the win snap a brief two-fight losing streak for Robertson, but she also picked up 30 percent of Cachoeira's purse after the latter missed weight by three pounds on Friday morning. The Canadian still has youth on her side at age 26, but Robertson has very little power in her hands (one career KO win) and no history of defeating better competition. Expect her inconsistent ways to continue moving forward.
