Jiu-jitsu world champion Mackenzie Dern missed weight for her Friday night showdown against Montana Stewart at Legacy FC 61, tipping the scales Thursday at 118.3 pounds for the strawweight contest.

Dern, 23, is currently the No. 1 ranked female jiu-jitsu artist in the world and is considered to be one of the top strawweight prospects in mixed martial arts. A highly decorated grappler, Dern (1-0) picked up a dominating decision win over Kenia Rosas in her MMA debut in July. A portion of her Legacy FC 61 purse will be forfeited to Stewart due to missing weight.

She looked really drawn out too. Had to be helped up onto the stage and off the stage.

Damn she had nothing left but surprisingly doesnt appear to have really low body fat. I obviously dont know her situation but looks like she could lose 5+ pounds in body fat. Am I wrong?

They had to help her walk up and down the stairs. That can't be good.

It's too bad there aren't meaningful opportunities at 125. 115 is way too light for MacKenzie.

Why not just fight at 135? She's competed again bigger bitches before.

That's the thing, there are TONS of fighters outside the UFC at 125. She should stop this 115 shit and just fight at 125. They are just feeding her cans at this point to pump up her record anyway, it's not like she's gonna be at a massive disadvantage.

Also, as she gets older, cutting to 115 is going to get harder and harder. Might as well switch to 125 now. By the time she is ready for the UFC in 2 years or so, (if she's lucky) the 125lb division should be ready to go.

She's got a smoking body...but her face is just average. The fact that she's such a great athlete is pretty sexy though.
