Two of the flyweight division’s brightest prospects could soon be facing off in Boston.
Gillian Robertson (7-3) and Maycee Barber (7-0) have agreed to fight at the Oct. 18 UFC on ESPN show. Both fighters confirmed the matchup on social media following a report by ESPN.
The news comes just days after Robertson, 24, improved her UFC record to 4-1 with a submission win over Sarah Frota at UFC 240 in Edmonton, Alberta. Robertson currently holds the most wins and most finishes (4) in the UFC’s nascent women’s flyweight division.
