4. Mackenzie Dern’s moment
[autotag]Mackenzie Dern[/autotag] rebounded from her first loss in an impressive manner when she not only beat Hannah Cifers, but did it in a historic fashion.
Dern became the first female in UFC history to finish a fight with a leg-related submission when she snatched up Cifers’ in a kneebar in the first round. It was a crucial performance to maintain hopes in her strawweight prospect status, especially after the way her previous fight unfolded.
After giving birth to her daughter in mid-2019, Dern returned to the cage four months later against a fearsome foe in Amanda Ribas. It was a blowout loss, and one that raised some question about Dern’s dedication and ceiling in the sport. She reset that conversation by getting in the win column, and her next outing will be fascinating to see.
