Mackenzie Dern is ready for anything.
After establishing herself as one of the strawweight division’s biggest stars, Dern will look to become a world champion when she meets Virna Jandiroba for the vacant 115-pound crown at UFC 321 on Saturday, October 25.
Of course, Dern and Jandiroba are no strangers to one another, having already shared the Octagon in 2020. Dern outworked the Brazilian in their first meeting, scoring a unanimous decision amid a four-fight win streak.
“Having a rematch is exciting,” Dern said in an interview with the UFC.
