The ‘UFC 256 - ‘FIGUEIREDO VS MORENO’ PPV main card just saw a predominantly standup war between two world class grappling greats in the UFC’s #11 ranked strawweight, Mackenzie Dern, and the #13 rated, Virna Jandiroba. Each fighter had their respective rounds heading into the final frame, but it was Dern who did enough to sway the judges and take home the unanimous decision. Dern showcased some noticeable technical polish added to her striking game, and even displayed a bit of grit to overcome a likely broken nose to advance her record to 10-1.
Dern went right at Jandiroba, throwing hard punches and looking to push the pace.
