Suffers first UFC defeat
Rodriguez lost to Gillian Robertson via submission (armbar) at 4:21 of Round 2 at UFC on ESPN 44 on Saturday in Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
Rodriguez was the better fighter for about three minutes, which, not coincidentally, was the only portion of the fight in which she was able to remain upright. She foolishly jumped into Robertson's guard in Round 1 and paid for it. Piera was granted a reprieve at the start of Round 2 before an immediate Robertson takedown eventually led to Rodriguez tapping out to a deep armbar. Gillian is a really good grappler, but Rodriguez made some rookie mistakes on the mat and ended up paying for it. Piera began her UFC win with two straight unanimous decision wins, but both came against lesser competition (Sam Hughes, Kay Hansen). Already 30 years of age and with just 10 professional fights under her belt, Rodriguez's upside is quite limited.
