PRAGUE – After losing by submission in her previous fight, Gillian Robertson got back in the win column with a submission of her own at UFC on ESPN+ 3. Robertson on Saturday defeated Veronica Macedo with a rear-naked choke in their women’s flyweight prelim bout, which aired on ESPN 2 ahead of the ESPN+ main card. For the 23-year-old Robertson, the victory was especially sweet after having her three-fight winning streak snapped last September, when she submitted to an armbar by Mayra Bueno Silva.
