“I see a lot of variables, for sure, I believe that what I need to be most careful about with Amanda is that she doesn't land something in her striking, as she has that strength in her punch, her heavy hand, if you fall, the fight is over. But, I'm more confident if we go to grappling. I've seen several of her fights, I know she has good attacks, some dangerous attacks, I can't give in because she's also a black belt (in jiu-jitsu). And she has the experience too, she knows how to fight MMA very well, win the rounds well, so I believe she has a lot of variables to be able to win the fight”, said Dern.

Strawweight representatives, Mackenzie dern e Amanda lemos will do the confrontation that will close the preliminary card of the UFC 298. The star-studded event will take place at the Honda Center, in Anaheim, California (USA).
