Dern kicked out of MMA Lab for poor attendance

[Blubba Jenkins]

"He wanted me to be there more often than what I was.”

“I’m not the person that the next day I’m back in the academy. I like to be on the beach, relax and miss to be on the mats and want to be on the mats. I don’t like the pressure to be on the mats. I’ve been on the mats since I was 3 years old. For me, at 25, when I have the time to rest, then the next time I want to train.”

I don't see the allure of Mackenzie Dern that many seem to.
She looks like a fairly average-looking human being.
I am interested to see how she progresses in the sport, but that's about it.

John's a super-cool guy, MMA Lab is a great place to train...but it sounds like she likes SoCal.

good for her, good for John.

 

[Grateful Dude]

She should go train at the Glendale Fight Club. Edmond could get her head movement on point.

 

[La Paix]

Good to read her and her former coach don't have any animosity between each other. Picking between Cali and AZ shouldn't be a hard decision if you have resources at both.

she takes a lot of photos from very flattering angles and posts them on instagram. Also, some people (myself included) naturally find a very accomplished woman with some shared interests far more attractive than a physically-similar bimbo-type. (well, usually, anyway!)

This, all day. Arizona is f'n awful. Can't blame her for wanting to be somewhere nicer (literally anywhere else falls into the category of 'nicer than Arizona').

Maybe if she actually went to class for consecutive days, she'd actually lose the baby phat and not have problems making weight.
However, if she wants to be a twerker instead of a fighter, then by all means, keep the phat ass for dancing......I don't hate it.
But do you wanna be a fuckin' twerker or a fuckin' fighter?

He didn't say the problem was that she was a bad teammate...Maybe he just didn't think she was improving enough to want her representing his team? Idk. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see that spin in the article.

 

[member 3289]

I like to...miss to be on the mats

It's funny that she's still keeping up with this second-language speaker gimmick

Some guys like a thick woman
Think of her as a female Fedor without a resume...a bit chubby and fairly attractive(depending on the angle)...and with a killer smile

Her and Fedor got dem killer smiles

^This. She is not a bad looking girl but the fact that she is an accomplished athlete in my favorite sport gets her many more points than the cute girls that work at Walmart with no goals.

 

[Robbie Hart]

What is the significance of this?

Is this going to bring down the gym?

I changed the subject to "poor attendance", which is not being a good teammate - that's being a diva.

Telling a black belt world champ to actually go to class.

It's almost as if you think a black belt's skills can't ever deteriorate, if they go to the beach instead of train often especially for fights.
She barely squeaked by her unimpressive UFC debut - no doubt due to more beach time than actual training.
Congrats on missing my point about making weight though.

 

[Ted Williams' head]

She's definitely hot. Who can blame the girl? She's not in camp, she wants to live her life and go to the beach? Good for her.

 

[Ryann Von Doom]

She has zero respect for mma. She needs to be on the mats everyday because she isn't really great, infact I'll sayit.. she sucks and thats why she has a target on her back from majority of the division, they know she can't hang. Prob gonna put some money on ABC now because of this.

Edit: saying she sucks is fighter bashing - L

She's not a black belt in MMA tho!
She's barely a yellow belt in MMA.

She's training for a FIGHT, not the Abu Schaubi worlds.
Humble, girl, humble.

You know you done fucked up when you get Kwing and I to agree.

Fighter bashing imo.
