RE: So Mckenzie Dern missed weight.....again.
It is pretty crazy, I had heard so much hype about her from people who follow BJJ and was excited to see her come over to MMA but she has been a pretty big let down so far.
To me it seems like the UFC are doing all they can to try and build her up, giving her an opponent who's lost 50% of her fights by submission. If Dern can't pull of a win now she's missed weight the UFC will likely be done with her.
lets be honest she never should have gotten the call up to begin with. she missed weight for 2 of her 5 pre ufc fights I believe. cmon. you missing weight half the time and the ufc giving you a contract? that's not the norm to say the least
People got all on the "she is the next Ronda Rousey" nonsense that they do every time a pretty girl gets a few wins but what they don't realize is how close Rousey really was to being the total package. Takedowns, Submissions and Striking the only thing she really lacked was striking defense.
Dern lacks striking AND takedowns
she has a ground game but against any real legit mma fighter at this point she will only get to use it against someone who wants to fight her on the ground.
I train in BJJ quite a bit but it was embarrassing to have all the bjj people hang their hats on this girl BJJ fans were so arrogant when talking about how a matchup with dern and rousey would go but so far Dern has only submitted a girl who didn't even have a corner giving her advice.
on top of that the weight missing etc
