What contract is that?
It appears as if she has already inked a deal with the UFC, however, much similar to the deal that Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino hasMMA Fighting reports. “Cyborg” signed a contract with a bit of a salary bump where she could fight in either Invicta FC or UFC. Do you think fast-tracking Dern to the octagon is the wrong choice?

And even more insults to those who actually deserve to be there.. She gets fucking rekt by anyone in the top 10, and she's training with Lauren Murphy lol.. Good luck when you're not facing cans.

It might be for the best if she takes Invicta fights as she gradually whittles herself down to 115. Additionally, the UFC probably wants to keep her away from Bellator. Plus she could use the seasoning.

Lauren Murphy is hardly a scrub.

Also, I get the feeling she'd be a really good coach. She's someone with very little natural athleticism who learned everything through pure dedication. People who are total naturals don't always have as good a grasp of the process of learning something new, because it's so easy for them, and so they may have difficulty conveying it to others.

I wonder if you had the same attitude when Ronda's cronies got into the UFC.

To be fair... They should have been cut sooner but all of them were added after the season of TUF that was intended to build depth in the division.

Just trying to lock these girls down.

Ufc never used to do this until just recently, now that Bellator has gotten serious. Seems that although there isn't really a place for cyborg in the UFC, they signed her to keep her the hell away from Bellator. Dern could be in the same boat

They earned their way into the UFC. You do realize that before the UFC's women's divisions there was women's MMA, right? May want to go actually learn about it.

she is fighting at LFA 24 at 125 lbs thought she was with UFC

125 lbs is better for her boobs and buttcheeks.

I think this is an example of the UFC developmental league Dana mentioned. The contract is probably like Cyborgs was with invicta. Pay them to fight in another organization so they don't sign with Bellator.
