Cool story about Mackenzie Dern returning back to MMA after he became a mother, here first fight was only four months after she had a baby and this was her only loss so far.
I am giving her advantage to win in fight against Marina Rodriguez and we may see full five round fight:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID8VcJboOnwDern returning to MMA 4 months after gave birth is just cringe. But whatever, glad she is active with 3 fights in 2020 and now at least 2 in 2021. Others should take notes on the level of activity an upcoming fighter should have to keep remaining relevant in the promotion. With a win here she should be golden when it comes to rankings and could very well be in line to fight the loser of Weili / Namajunas.
I think it is normal to stop fighting when a female is surely giving birth but I sure like her will in return after she has given birth to Moa, and this fight could be a great fight and because it became the main event it could be an outstanding fight my take Mackenzie Dern is a pure Wrestling chick while Marina Rodriguez is a good striker, this could be a great fight to watch if what style would prevail, a pure striker vs a wrestler I could say Marina's striking could be interrupted by takedowns from Dern but if Marina has a good takedown defense she could withstand every takedown Dern throws at her, but still I am waiting for some opinions for me to take my pick.
The no. 6 ranked fighter plays the no. 4 ranked player, this will be an exciting match to watch. Dern (11-1) is on a hot 4 winning streak and she will be wanting to make that 5 and Maria have also got a good stat of 14-1-2 and is on a two winning streak so far after beating Michelle Waterson in May. Both the fighters are very capable and Maria has got very good striking capability but I'd opt for Dern in this match.
Dern surely got a good background in wrestling with her style Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and with her 7 submission wins I think she is capable of taking down the good at striking Marina Rodriguez, my take this I really like Marina Rodriguez style with her striking and she outstrikes Michelle Waterson that is how good of a striker she is, but for me, I really like a Khabib style of game, so my pick will be Mackenzie Dern.
Francis Ngannou vs. Ciryl GaneI know this is just announced and it is for the UFC 270 but I am totally excited for this fight, who is not right? and this clash is for the heavyweight title unification and I know this is going to be interesting matchups, a clash of strength VS technique so they are both special in opposite ways, and I really like both fighters, the Power and despite his massive structure still have those speed Francis Ngannou has the path to power while Cyril Gane relies on technique, his fight IQ, and speed so this is really an interesting matchup for the Heavyweight division the two best Heavyweights will surely clash, and I can not really hide my excitement.
love it.
