LAS VEGAS – Although the swelling and bruising meant her face likely had experienced better days, there was little for Gillian Robertson to be upset about Saturday.
After her dominant decision win over Michelle Waterson-Gomez (18-13 MMA, 6-9 UFC) on the UFC 303 preliminary card at T-Mobile Arena, Robertson (14-8 MMA, 11-6 UFC) said the biggest bummer about what from name value could be her biggest win yet was she had to get the inside of her lip stitched.
“Physically, I’m feeling great,” Robertson said at her post-fight news conference. “I actually got four or five stitches in my lip. Literally the first thing I said after the fight, I was like, ‘I can’t smoke weed tonight.’ So that was my biggest worry.”
