Gillian Robertson sends defiant message to Mackenzie Dern: \u2018The
\nbelt\u2019s already mine\u2019<\/h2>\n

While Dern possesses potent submission skills, Robertson claims the
\nchampion isn\u2019t particularly adept at landing takedowns. The
\nchallenger believes Dern might pull guard out of desperation to
\ntake the fight to the mat, where she is most dangerous.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think she has a great ability to take it to the ground,\u201d
\nRobertson told MMA Junkie. \u201cI think she has an okay double leg and
\nthen she likes the lateral hip throw. I don\u2019t think she\u2019s the best
\nat getting there. I honestly wouldn\u2019t be surprised if she pulled
\nguard on me. I feel like that\u2019s where I see her having the most
\ndanger: when she is on her back, she is very active. I wouldn\u2019t be
\nsurprised if that\u2019s how we end up on the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robertson predicts a third-round technical knockout victory over
\nDern. She feels the belt is already hers as fight week gets
\nunderway.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m gonna say third round TKO,\u201d Robertson added. \u201cI just feel like
\nthe belt\u2019s already mine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robertson (17-8) is riding a five-fight winning streak, the longest
\nof her professional career. Meanwhile, Dern (16-5) claimed the
\nvacant title against Virna
\nJandiroba<\/a> last year after Zhang Weili vacated the
\nchampionship.<\/p>\n
