Garry earned his shot at the gold following consecutive wins over Belal Muhammad and Carlos Prates.

Mackenzie Dern vs Gillian Robertson
- The Ground Game: While both fighters are known for their exceptional submission prowess, they approach grappling differently. Dern brings top-tier, world-championship credentialed Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, while Robertson relies on a highly aggressive, relentless wrestling transition game to secure ground control and hunting for finishes.
- Striking Variables: Analysts lean slightly toward Dern retaining her championship due to an expected edge in standing striking volume and power. For Robertson to capture the gold, she will likely need to find a way past Dern’s striking to secure takedowns and maintain extended control on the canvas.
- The Stakes: For Dern, this is the opportunity to cement her reign and avoid the recent trend of strawweight champions dropping the belt in their very first defense. For Robertson, nicknamed “The Savage,” this marks the ultimate culmination of a long UFC journey and her first career shot at UFC gold.
