Mackenzie Dern’s goal is to fight in the UFC in 2017 — VIDEO
At just 23-years-old, Mackenzie Dern has already established herself as an ace in Brazilian jiu-jitsu competition. Now the Arizona-based fighter will look to make a name for herself in MMA.
Training since the age of three, Dern is a well-decorated grappler who decided to transition to mixed martial arts in 2016. Currently she is 2-0 as a professional.
With her third Legacy Fighting Alliance bout on the horizon, Dern says she has her sights set on fighting in the UFC before the year’s end. At Legacy Fighting Alliance 6 on Mar. 10 in San Antonio, Texas, Dern will face Katherine Roy.
