Luana Pinheiro: Brazilian star looking to rebound from consecutive losses
Luana Pinheiro (11-3) was on a nine-fight winning streak but she has lost her last two bouts to halt her impressive rise up the rankings. She was TKO’d by Amanda Ribas in November 2023 and was then submitted by Angela Hill in May so she will be desperate to come back after suffering the only stoppages in her career.
Gillian Robertson: Canadian stringing streak together
Gillian Robertson (14-8) is something of a late bloomer and she is only getting better with every fight she takes. She has won four of her last five fights and she has really good momentum behind her right now. This is her third fight in 2024 with the first being a TKO win over Polyana Viana in January and then a unanimous decision win over Michelle Waterson-Gomez at UFC 303.
Luana Pinheiro vs Gillian Robertson Prediction
The winner of this fight will be pushing to break into the top ten of the women’s strawweight division and it is Gillian Robertson who is the favourite to get the W here.
The Canadian is developing by the fight and comes off a unanimous decision win over Michelle Waterson-Gomez – a fighter Luana Pinheiro edged a split decision win against at UFC 287.
Pinheiro has been stopped twice since then and Robertson is just going from strength to strength right now. With form, confidence and a better performance against a mutual opponent, Robertson has to be favoured to get the win.
Prediction: Gillian Robertson to win
