Mackenzie Dern was in the crowd the night Amanda Lemos got her title shot against Zhang Weili at UFC 292 in Boston. Zhang put on a dominant performance over Lemos, out striking her opponent 296-29. Being able to witness that fight, gave Dern confidence heading into her short notice fight against Lemos at UFC 298 in Anaheim.
“I did see on the ground that Zhang really was grappling her, and that's a good opening for me,” Dern said.
