One of the most anticipated fights on the UFC 222 card over the weekend in Las Vegas was the Octagon debut of multiple time ADCC and Mundial champion Mackenzie Dern. It was evident in the numbers that her fight had put up, drawing in more than one million viewers.
For her part, however, Dern says she felt no pressure at all coming into her much-awaited UFC debut against Ashley Yoder.
“I swear, it felt so normal. I was so relaxed. I didn’t even hear people [screaming],” Dern said on Monday’s episode of The MMA Hour (via MMA Fighting).
