UFC 303 results: Emotional Michelle Waterson-Gomez retires after Gillian Robertson’s grappling showcase

Gillian Robertson stuck to her bread and butter Saturday at UFC 303 when he defeated seasoned veteran Michelle Waterson-Gomez with a grapple-centric attack.

From the opening bell, Robertson (13-8 MMA, 10-6 UFC) dominated Waterson-Gomez (18-12 MMA, 6-8 UFC) en route to a unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-26) victory at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The strawweight bout was part of the preliminary card.

The bout turned out to be the final for Waterson-Gomez, 38, who announced her retirement in the cage following the bout. The promotion had a tribute package ready and played it as she tried to compose her emotions during her in-cage interview with Joe Rogan, who also became choked up.
