(Watch Robertson Submit Agapov On UFC Fight Pass)
We’ve seen Gillian Robertson persevere time and time again.
Robertson’s willingness to walk through fire in order to get the fight to the ground was on full display against Mariya Agapova. The exciting striker had an excellent first round, landing significant strikes and preventing Robertson from setting up submission attempts. At the end of the first, Agapova almost slipped right into an arm triangle but was saved by the bell.
In the second round, Agapova made that mistake that Robertson had been waiting for. As Agapova worked her way back up to her knees she gave up her back and Robertson pounced on the rear naked choke.
Agapova fought the choke and essentially tried to just tough it out, but the submission was too deep, and she went out on the canvas.
