Ahead of her UFC Vegas 102 headliner, strawweight star, Mackenzie Dern turned some heads today during her media obligations, bringing a sizeable emotional support mutt with her for her engagement ahead of her rematch fight with Brazilian contender, Amanda Ribas.
Dern, the current number six ranked strawweight challenger, has been sidelined since August, where she returned to the winner’s enclosure following a two-fight losing run, landing a unanimous decision win over Loopy Godinez at UFC Fight Night Abu Dhabi.
And rekindling her rivalry with Brazilian grappling star, Ribas, Dern will look to avenge her first-ever professional mixed martial arts defeat, when her seven-fight run was halted in a unanimous decision loss against the flyweight and strawweight challenger.
