Mackenzie Dern makes the first defence of her strawweight title against Gillian Robertson in the co-main event of UFC 330 in Philadelphia. Two of the division's most decorated grapplers meet with a belt between them, and one of them has never been tapped in the Octagon. Our Mackenzie Dern vs Gillian Robertson match prediction stays with the champion.
Dern took the vacant title from Virna Jandiroba over five rounds in Abu Dhabi. She had submitted Amanda Ribas with an armbar from mount in January 2025. The champion is 16-5 and owns five submission wins inside the Octagon. Nobody has ever submitted her there. Her last defeat came against Amanda Lemos in February 2024.
The Savage arrives on a five-fight winning streak and has not lost since June 2023. Robertson holds the UFC record for most finishes by a woman with 10, and the record for submission victories among women. She beat Amanda Lemos on the cards in March, having stopped Marina Rodriguez before that.
Robertson has spoken openly about becoming the first fighter to make Dern tap, which would carry a piece of history with it. The Savage is a clear underdog against a champion nobody has yet submitted.

Our Mackenzie Dern vs Gillian Robertson Prediction
Dern beat Virna Jandiroba over five championship rounds to take the belt, then arrives having submitted Amanda Ribas in early 2025. She has five submission wins in the Octagon and has never been tapped in one.
The Savage brings a five-fight streak and two UFC records for finishing, so the challenge is real. But Robertson's clearest path is the one Dern has closed off for her entire promotional career. Hence, our Mackenzie Dern vs Gillian Robertson match prediction is that Mackenzie Dern wins.
