UFC on ESPN 67 video: Gillian Robertson sends Marina Rodriguez into retirement

Gillian Robertson is putting together an impressive run at strawweight.

At UFC on ESPN 67, Robertson (16-8 MMA, 13-6 UFC) took on Marina Rodriguez on the preliminary card. It was a dominant performance that overwhelmed Rodriguez (17-6-2 MMA, 7-6-2 UFC), leading to a TKO stoppage at 2:07 in Round 2.

The fight was Robertson's the whole way through.

"The Savage" lived up to her nickname with a relentless attack on the ground in the opening round, where she consistently hunted for submissions while landing big shots on the ground.

In the second frame, Rodriguez attempted to slap on a choke as Robertson looked for an early takedown.
