Decorated Brazilian jiu-jitsu blackbelt Mackenzie Dern is anxious to go back to the Octagon, following the delivery of her first child back in June. Paired up against Amanda Ribas at UFC Tampa, in October, the 26-year-old is confident that she will perform well—starting with the weigh-ins. This despite being just four months removed from giving birth.
In an interview with UFC Brasil’s YouTube channel, Mackenzie (who missed weight by a whopping seven pounds in her last outing) stated that she believes she will have a much easier time making weight this time around. And she even thinks fans will be shocked once they see how easily she will hit the strawweight mark.
