UFC books Luana Pinheiro vs. Gillian Robertson for November

Ranked UFC strawweights Luana Pinheiro and Gillian Robertson will collide this November.

The three-round fight is scheduled for Nov. 9 at an event yet-to-be-announced. A location is not known at this time.

Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently informed MMA Junkie of the booking but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Robertson first announced the news through Fight Bananas.

Pinheiro (11-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) aims to snap a two-fight skid that includes consecutive finish losses to Amanda Ribas and Angela Hill.

Robertson (14-8 MMA, 11-6 UFC) is 3-1 since she shifted down to strawweight in early 2023. She rides a two-fight winning streak comprised of victories over Polyana Viana and Michelle Waterson-Gomez.

No other fights have been announced for the Nov. 9 event at this time.
