Whether it’s on the feet or the mat, Mackenzie Dern is confident she’ll get the job done at UFC 321.
Dern steps into the co-main event spotlight this Saturday night against Brazilian standout Virna Jandiroba, with the winner leaving as the new strawweight world champion.
Being a former ADCC and IBJJF world champion, many expect Dern to flex her ground game against the well-rounded Jandiroba.
Speaking with members of the press during Wednesday’s UFC 321 media day, Dern acknowledged that while the fight may very well hit the canvas at some point, she’s more than comfortable slinging leather.
