Turning in her second straight victory overnight, grappling sensation, Mackenzie Dern may have no rush to land herself a shot at the strawweight crown after her UFC Vegas 101 stoppage win, however, if she ascends the throne, she plans to reign for a long period of time.
Dern, the current number six ranked strawweight contender, returned to action overnight in the first promotional event of the year, tackling former-foe and Brazilian fan-favorite, Amanda Ribas in the pair’s rematch.
And first matching five years ago in Florida, Dern dropped her first professional mixed martial arts loss in her eighth professional fight, in the form of a unanimous decision blemish to Ribas.
