On Saturday night at UFC 224 in Rio de Janeiro, rising Ultimate Fighting Championship strawweight Mackenzie Dern scored an impressive win over Amanda Bobby Cooper. Dern weighed in for the bout seven pounds over the strawweight limit, which understandably drew heavy criticism from fellow fighters.
UFC strawweight champion Rose Namajunas, along with her fiancee and trainer Pat Barry, were featured on Tuesday’s episode of the “UFC Unfiltered” podcast and voiced her opinion on Dern’s weight cut:
“That right hand she threw looked like it was a big ol’ girl throwing that punch,” said Namajunas.
