MMA Community reacts to Mackenzie Dern’s submission win at UFC 224

Jiu-jitsu ace Mackenzie Dern (7-0 MMA) kept her perfect mixed martials arts record intact at last night’s UFC 224 event in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil by scoring a first-round subsmission victory over Amanda Cooper.

The victory showcased Mackenzie Dern’s ever evolving stand-up and of course her ridiculous submission skills, but the dominant win was likely overshadowed by the fact that Dern came in seven pounds over the 116-pound strawweight limit for the fight.

Mackenzie was fined 30% of her fight purse for the botched weight cut, 20% of which went to her opponent Amanda Cooper who opted to take the fight despite being at such a size disadvantage.

While Mackenzie Dern’s UFC 224 victory was nothing short of impressive, it was not exaclty well received by all members of the MMA Community.
