Gillian Robertson vs. Taila Santos, Marc-Andre Barriault vs. Oskar Piechota join UFC Saskatoon lineup
Two undercard matchups are the first additions to UFC Saskatoon.
Gillian Robertson will take on Taila Santos in a flyweight bout, and Marc-Andre Barriault will fight Oskar Piechota at middleweight in the UFC’s first trip to Saskatoon since 2015.
MMA Junkie confirmed the matchups Wednesday after an initial report from Saskatoon StarPhoenix. The event will take place June 20 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, and is expected to be either an ESPN or ESPN+ event.
Robertson (7-4 MMA, 4-2 UFC) saw her two-fight winning streak snapped in a first-round TKO loss to Maycee Barber in October. The 24-year-old Niagra Falls native has finished all four of her UFC wins.
Santos (15-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) earned a UFC contract on “Dana White’s Contender Series” in 2018, but fell short to Mara Romero Borella in her promotional debut last February for her first loss.
Quebec City’s Barriault (11-4 MMA, 0-3 UFC) has dropped his first three appearances with the UFC, losing to Andrew Sanchez, Krzysztof Jotko and Jun Yong Park all by decision.
Piechota (11-3 MMA, 2-3 UFC) also will be looking to rebound, having been stopped in three straight bouts. His most recent loss came at the hands of Punahele Soriano at UFC 245.
The current UFC Saskatoon lineup includes:
- Gillian Robertson vs. Taila Santos
- Marc-Andre Barriault vs. Oskar Piechota
