According to a report from MMA Fighting, Dern (8-1, 3-1 UFC) will fight Randa Markos (10-8-1, 6-7-1 UFC) on a September 19th UFC event. That might be UFC 253, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
The event is expected to take place in Las Vegas, but we’ll have to wait and see on that.
Dern suffered her first career loss in 2019, dropping a decision to rising star Amanda Ribas. She rebounded well though, finishing Hannah Cifers with a kneebar in their May bout. That submission earned her a performance of the night bonus.
