Mackenzie Dern To Remain At 115

Mackenzie Dern (7-0, 2-0 UFC) came to UFC 224, weighing in 7 pounds over the 116 pound limit. Dern was able to submit Amanda Bobby Cooper in that bout, but several critics voiced their displeasure with Dern missing weight.

The UFC has not yet asked her to move up to the 125 pound flyweight division as of yet, but you can imagine that another miss will result in her moving up permanently.

Dern's submission game is arguably the best at straweight. Her striking is improving, though her striking defense is still lacking.

Here is an example of her skills.

Video of the Day - Jones v. Holm

Here is Holly Holm fighting Allanna Jones at Legacy FC 21 which took place on 7/19/13 in Houston, Texas. Holm trains out of Jackson-Winklejohn and has a pro boxing record of 33-2-3.

Holm (10-0, 3-0 UFC) shocked the world as she destroyed Ronda Rousey at UFC 193 with a perfectly placed kick to the jaw. Prior to that kick, Holm had Rousey's number landing with counter lefts, elbows, kicks and even scored a takedown. It was by far the best Holm looked after previously winning twice via decision against Raquel Pennington and Marion Reneau in her UFC bouts.

Holm next fights Miesha Tate (17-5, 4-2 UFC) at UFC 196 in her first title defense.
