Yeah, maybe don't go to the ground with Mackenzie Dern if you can help it.
The top women's MMA prospect and Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion twisted opponent Montana Stewart up in a nasty position Friday night and finished with a submission at 3:25 of the first round at Legacy FC 61 in Dallas. Dern tied up Stewart's arm with an omoplata and then locked in a rear-naked choke simultaneously. Very high level stuff from her.
"I don't know if she [tapped to] the shoulder or the choke, but I hope both were uncomfortable," Dern told cageside reporter Ron Kruck afterward.
