Mackenzie Dern has had issues making weight in her fighting career ,and Friday was no exception.
At the weigh-ins for UFC 224, Dern hit the scales at 123 pounds, seven pounds over the strawweight limit (116 pounds) for her fight with Amanda Cooper on Saturday at the Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro.
The undefeated 25-year-old weighed in with over an hour remaining, so it is doubtful that she will make a second attempt given the enormous disparity.
Prior to joining the UFC, Dern (6-0) twice failed to make the strawweight, though one of those instances was changed to a 120-pound catchweight bout the day before weigh-ins.
