VIDEO: Savage Gillian Robertson Scores TKO Victory Over Sarah Frota With Nasty Elbow Strike
By Jerry Trotta
Sarah Frota sought to play spoiler on Saturday against the emerging flyweight Gillian Robertson, who boasted a 3-1 record in the division heading into UFC 240 in Edmonton. And Frota actually fought a competitive first round, landing several hammerfists on the back of the Canadian. However, the second frame was ALL Robertson, as she managed to get on-top of the Brazilian almost effortlessly. What proceeded was sheer mayhem and utter dominance from the budding superstar. With Frota defenseless on the mat, "Savage" unleashed a monsoon of elbows to her foe's head, forcing the ref to end the bout.
Yup, this fight wasn't lasting another second. Frota did her best to get Gillian off her, but once those blows started landing, it was over. She had no choice but to brace her head and confront the sting of inevitability.
Robertson now moves to 4-1 in the UFC women's flyweight division, and should be labeled one of the most feared fighters in her class after this convincing showing.
