For the second straight fight, Dern was unable to make the contracted strawweight weight class. On Thursday, Dern could not get down to the 116-pound division maximum for her Legacy Fighting Alliance 6 fight against Katherine Roy, so the bout was changed to a 120-pound catchweight prior to her stepping on the scale, LFA president Ed Soares told MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani.
Dern (2-0), one of the most vaunted prospects in MMA, is arguably the top female Brazilian jiu-jitsu player in the world.
The bout will still go on for the LFA 6 main card Friday night in San Antonio.
