Not a fan of Mackenzie Dern? We’ve got a feeling that you will be after watching this video!

When Ronda Rousey was still ruling the bantamweight division with her unstoppable armbar, many predicted that Mackenzie and her submission ability would be enough to defeat Rousey once the talented grappler had announced that she was planning to transition into MMA. Although she was not the woman who ultimately ended up defeating Rousey, on March 17th it was announced that she is now signed with LegacyFC where she will be making her MMA debut in July.

Dern has become well-known for being one of the greatest female grapplers to ever grace the mat and her accomplishments make that a fact, not an opinion. She has even defeated Gabi Garcia, who is not only another highly accomplished female grappler, but one that is nearly twice Dern’s size.
