Gillian Robertson Bio

Gillian Robertson is a Canadian mixed martial artist from Niagara Falls, Ontario. Born May 17, 1995, she stands 5 feet 5 inches tall and is known by the nickname “The Savage.” As of September 11, 2026, the UFC lists Robertson as an active women’s strawweight who trains at The Goat Shed.

Robertson began training as a teenager and entered amateur competition shortly after turning 18. She later appeared on The Ultimate Fighter 26 and made her official UFC debut against Emily Whitmire at the season finale on December 1, 2017. Robertson initially competed in the UFC women’s flyweight division before moving to strawweight in 2023, a change she subsequently described as finding her competitive home.

A Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, Robertson has built her style around pressure, takedowns, positional control and submission attacks, while also using ground strikes to create finishing opportunities. Her progress at strawweight led to her first UFC championship opportunity against Mackenzie Dern at UFC 330 on August 15, 2026. Robertson fell short by decision but remained listed as an active strawweight after the event. Outside the cage, she has said that she earned an associate degree in general education.
