Newly recruited women’s UFC strawweight Mackenzie Dern is gearing up for her second octagon performance. With that in mind, a video of the fighter enjoying some time off by dancing with a friend is now making its way around the internet.
Mackenzie Dern first took over the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu before making her way to the sport of mixed martial arts. A former ADCC champion and former No. 1 ranked IBJJF black belt, Dern quickly gained a reputation in the BJJ world as a grappling phenom.
Dern then battled her way to an undefeated professional record of 5-0 in MMA, landing a spot on the roster of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). In her octagon debut, Dern faced off against Ashley Yoder. The grappling ace earned a split decision victory in the match up.
Now Dern is gearing up to take an Amanda Bobby Cooper at UFC 224. The event goes down May 12 in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.
In the meantime, a video of Mackenzie Dern performing a dance routine with her friend is now taking the internet by storm. Check it out in the video above.
