More often then not, the competition continues to get harder as a fighter progresses through their UFC career. Despite this, Mackenzie Dern feels that her next opponent, Amanda Cooper, will be less of challenge than Ashley Yoder, whom Dern defeated in her UFC debut in March.
Last month, Cooper told FloCombat that she has been “watching Mackenzie for years,” and as a matter of fact, she hasn’t been “too impressed” by what she has seen from the 25-year-old. Dern will fight Cooper at UFC 224 on May 12, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
