Highly accomplished jiu-jitsu specialist Mackenzie Dern is a perfect 7-0 in her MMA career, and 2-0 in the UFC. If there is one problem that has plagued her in MMA, it’s making the strawweight limit, and even though she’s missed three times, she is still going to compete at that weight class.

According to ESPN’s Ariel Helwani, Dern plans to continue fighting at 115 lbs “after a long consultation process with doctors.” The 25-year-old weighted an astonishing 123 lbs for her UFC 224 win vs. Amanda Bobby Cooper, seven pounds over the non-title strawweight limit. She’s also come in at 120 and 118.8 lbs for her other misses. Her one official flyweight fight came in October 2017, when she…

Big Mac gonna fuck over at least one more opponent it seems
She has a pattern of coming in heavy and then putting the pressure on the other girl
to accept the fight at a disadvantage

In my opinion at minimum if she misses weight again but wins
the fight it should be ruled a no contest

She has 3 wins in a division she never actually made weight to fight in

Thats bullshit

They should have a 3 strikes and you're out rule- miss weight 3 times and contractually, you have to go up in weight.

Its just silly bro. "After speaking with her doctors"

Get real. She has baby fat sagging off her and is soft as fuck

What do you need a doctor for??

as a guy who had seen dern in person she probably walks around at 135 lbs ,she does seem short though compared to other straweights I have seen in person but she looks like she weights more, I guess the point I was trying to make is I think she will miss weight and should probably fight at 125.

she aint giving up the size and strength adv fighting at sw gives her, it also helps her durability vs better strikers which there are many of and it enhances her striking making up for her lack of offensive depth
