Scouting report

Gillian Robertson “The Savage” is a 31-year-old Orthodox women's strawweight out of Canada, camped at The Goat Shed. The tape read: hybrid who can change levels. Career mark 17-9-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 9 by submission, 8 by decision. Fight IQ grades C+ (64).

What works. Durability is the standout at 77 (B+). Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean. Ground game C+ on 2.76 TD/15 and 0.87 sub attempts. Striking defense C+ at 63% / 3.65 SApM. Counter punching C; punching agility C (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 74% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Counter punching is the soft spot (50, C). Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax. Opponents who out-speed the first exchange and never stay on the centerline have historically been the ones who make this résumé leak. Losses lean decision more often than a highlight — the issue is usually control of minutes, not a glass jaw.

The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Robertson yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.

Ground game

63 C+

Ground work is situational, not a finishing engine. Expect clinch entries more than a mat cycle.

  • 2.76 takedowns / 15 at 41% accuracy
  • 0.87 submission attempts / 15 · 9 career sub wins

Striking defense

62 C+

Eats more than a championship pocket should. High SApM or a porous guard will get taxed against power.

  • 63% striking defense · 3.65 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 9 defeats

Counter punching

50 C

Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.

  • 58% accuracy on 2.71 SLpM
  • 0.32 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

63 C+

Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.

  • Str def 63% · TD def 74% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 3.65 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

52 C

Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.

  • 2.71 SLpM at 58% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 3.65 SApM

Takedown reaction

62 C+

Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.

  • 74% takedown defense — the live reaction to level changes
  • 1 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

77 B+

Standard UFC durability. Can be hurt, usually recovers if the shot is not clean.

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 9 losses
  • 8 decision wins — proof they last and still score
