Mackenzie Dern is scheduled to make her long-awaited Octagon debut against Ashley Yoder at UFC 222 on March 3 in Las Vegas, MMA Fighting has learned.
Dern (5-0) is considered one of the greatest female Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioners of all time, as she’s won multiple gold medals in some of the most prestigious grappling tournaments around the world.
In 2016, Dern made her MMA debut to much fanfare. Since then, she’s won her first five fights, most recently submitting Kaline Medeiros at Invicta FC 26 last month.
