Gillian Robertson vs. Miranda Maverick scratched from UFC 258 lineup
Tonight’s UFC 258 lineup is down to 10 fights.
The women’s flyweight matchup between Gillian Robertson and Miranda Maverick has been scratched from the card, according to UFC officials.
Per a release from the promotion, Robertson’s (9-5 MMA, 6-3 UFC) removal from the bout with Maverick (8-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) was due to “non-COVID related issue.” Shortly thereafter, the Canadian released a statement on her Instagram detailing exactly what happened and how she fell ill (via Instagram):
Heartbroken is the only way to describe it . After a great camp and an easy weight cut I unfortunately woke up this morning at 4 am vomiting and my condition has yet to improve. So for the first time in my career my team has decided it would be best to pull myself from this fight. My greatest apologies to Miranda, I know how much you put into this and it would be an honor to share the octagon with you in the future. Im sorry to everyone im letting down, My team, my fans and the UFC I wish I could have preformed for you tonight.
Following Robertson’s statement, Maverick followed with some comments of her own and said she hopes to return soon (via Instagram):
I wish a full recovery to Gillian, who reportedly woke up at 4am with chills and vomiting this morning. I am disappointed as I have prepared fully, had an amazing cut, and was about to walk to the lobby to go the Apex when I found out the news. I hope to book a fight against @savage_ufc in the near future or another opportunity soon.
To my sponsors, coaches, team, family, and fans, I’m sorry I’m not getting to put on the show you were waiting for.
But… every fight camp I improve and this just adds fuel to my fireI’ll be back soon!
