Mackenzie Dern leaves UFC 224 as the week’s most talked about athlete.
Her headline making ways started out when she missed weight on Friday morning, but she would move passed the negativity, and win her fight on Saturday night.
It took Dern just a couple of minutes to drop Amanda Cooper with punches before finishing the bout with a rear naked choke.
Following the fight, Dern addressed her missed weight with the media, and while she apologized for it, she said it’s not like she got popped for coke. Basically implying that the world needs to get over it.
“I don’t take steroids, I wasn’t popped for anything. There are champions caught for drugs and coke. This was a mistake.”
She also noted that she plans on using the UFC performance Institute to get her weight in check for future fights.
No word on what’s next for Dern, but she’s still undefeated after UFC 224.
