Brazilian striking ace, Marina Rodriguez is reportedly set for her return to action in a bid to snap her two-fight losing run at a UFC Fight Night card on May 3. — in a showdown against grappling star, Gillian Robertson — with the event rumored to take place in Des Moines, Iowa.
Rodriguez, who retains the number nine rank at the strawweight limit, has been sidelined since last October, most recently suffering a split decision loss against Iasmin Lucindo at UFC 307, which came after another split judging loss against former strawweight queen, Jessica Andrade.
As for Robertson, the prolific submission artist is currently in the midst of a three-fight winning spree, and holds the number twelve rank in the division since her unanimous judging win over Luana Pinheiro.
