Less than a week removed from her last fight, Cortney Casey already has another matchup booked.
Casey will face Gillian Robertson in a flyweight bout at the UFC’s June 20 event. MMA Junkie confirmed the matchup after an initial report from UFC broadcast partner ESPN. The event does not have a location or venue at this time.
Last week at UFC on ESPN 8, Casey (9-7 MMA, 5-6 UFC) scored a first-round submission win over Mara Romero Borella, earning her a “Performance of the Night” bonus. She has won two of her last three.
Robertson (7-4 MMA, 4-2 UFC) was scheduled to face Talia Santos in her home country of Canada before the coronavirus outbreak caused a change in event location and opponent. She is coming off a first-round stoppage loss to Maycee Barber last October. Prior to that, she scored back-to-back finishes over Veronica Macedo and Sarah Frota.
With the addition, the current June 20 lineup includes:
- Raquel Pennington vs. Marion Reneau
- Roxanne Modafferi vs. Lauren Murphy
- Lyman Good vs. Belal Muhammad
- Shane Burgos vs. Josh Emmett
- Cortney Casey vs. Gillian Robertson
