It isn’t a surprise Mackenzie Dern was put in the final contest of the prelims. A skilled athlete who is easy on the eyes, the UFC sees her as another potential Ronda Rousey. Not that anyone has come out and said anything as ludicrous as that. It would be a horrible idea to come out and put those type of expectations on the youngster even before she has stepped foot in the UFC. Nonetheless, high expectations are there for the BJJ phenom.
Though UFC 222 hasn’t come across as a sexy card, there are certainly some bright spots outside of the main and co-main event.
