Gillian Robertson vs. Miranda Maverick added to UFC 258 on Feb. 13

Gillian Robertson will look to get back to the win column when she takes on a rising prospect.

Robertson (9-5 MMA, 6-3 UFC) is expected to face Miranda Maverick (8-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) on Feb. 13 at UFC 258, which will likely take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie but asked to remain anonymous since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Maverick was first to report the news on her Instagram.

Winner of two of her past three, Robertson is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Taila Santos at UFC Fight Night 183. Prior to that, the 25-year-old “The Ultimate Fighter” alum submitted Cortney Casey in June, followed by a unanimous decision win over Poliana Botelho in October.

Maverick, 23, made good in her promotional debut when she scored a first-round doctor’s stoppage over Liana Jojua at UFC 254, extending her winning streak to four. Three of her past four wins have come via finish.

With the addition, the latest UFC 258 lineup includes:

  • Champ Kamaru Usman vs. Gilbert Burns – for welterweight title
  • Pedro Munhoz vs. Jimmie Rivera
  • Uriah Hall vs. Chris Weidman
  • Ian Heinisch vs. Kelvin Gastelum
  • Maycee Barber vs. Alexa Grasso
  • Gabe Green vs. Phil Rowe
  • Dhiego Lima vs. Belal Muhammad
  • Miranda Maverick vs. Gillian Robertson
