Mackenzie Dern defeated Amanda Ribas via armbar in Round 3 at UFC Vegas 101. Dern avenged her previous loss to Ribas in 2019 and believes her striking and takedowns are improving, setting up her submissions. While Dern is an intriguing contender, she remains patient in her pursuit of the UFC strawweight championship.
with a fair amount of hype behind her, it has taken some time for her to develop into more of a complete mixed martial artist.on the feet before eliciting a tapout from her Brazilian foe with an armbar at the 4:56 mark of Round 3. The triumph allowed Dern to avenge a previous defeat against Ribas that occurred in October 2019. Though Dern believes she is improving in all facets, the ultimate goal remains the same.
“I’m always trying to get the fight to the ground. Every fight, I’m trying to get the fight to the ground. I think it just kind of shows more that the other areas are getting better when I get the submission.” “I think I’m very hard on myself ,and I always try to get better. Even when I have a great performance, I think I did so many things wrong. So I think it’s a lot of play messing in your head, so it can take your journey and maybe makes it a little longer. But I think in the end it really helps you want to be the best fighter possible if you can really look back and have constructive criticism on yourself,” Dern said.
