JJ ALDRICH VS GILLIAN ROBERTSON LOWDOWN
JJ Aldrich (10-4) is hoping to make it three in a row after earning a split decision over Cortney Casey and a more convincing unanimous one over Vanessa Demopoulos last year. That came in response to a split decision loss to Sabina Mazo in her sole fight in 2020 so, she is now 6-3 in the UFC which is respectable in the female divisions.
Gillian Robertson (10-6) is 7-3 and boasts the most finishes in women’s flyweight history after submitting Priscila Cachoeira back in December. That was her fifth submission in the UFC and came with great relief after dropping two unanimous decisions in a row to Taila Santos (2020) and Miranda Maverick (2021).
JJ ALDRICH VS GILLIAN ROBERTSON PREDICTION
Robertson has only lost to better wrestlers. She took Mayra Bueno Silva down but got submitted back in 2018 and Maycee Barber shrugged off a couple takedown attempts before bullying her on the feet.
Aldrich is an excellent and technically sound striker, but she does not have the power or wrestling to dominate Robertson. If she can defend the takedown, she can point-fight her way to a decision. Her defence is a decent 68% but we expect Robertson to be relentless and cling on to Aldrich.
She will close the distance to nullify Aldrich on the feet and if she can get her on her back, she may just find a submission. Aldrich has good jiu-jitsu herself, but it may only be enough to drag this to the bell.
