Mackenzie Dern isn’t rushing for a title shot

UFC star Mackenzie Dern isn’t trying to rush her way to a title shot despite managing to submit Amanda Ribas in their rematch last night.

For the longest time, Mackenzie Dern has been seen as a real contender in the UFC’s strawweight division. However, after losses to Jessica Andrade and Amanda Lemos, many questioned whether or not she’d ever be able to reach the championship level.

Since then, she’s defeated Loopy Godinez and Amanda Ribas, with the latter of those two triumphs coming last night via submission. It served as revenge from their first meeting when Ribas was the one who got her hand raised against Mackenzie Dern.
