"No excuses! Defeat is part of life. He still has a long way to go. Congratulations to my opponent, Amanda! Thank you to my family, my coaches, my sponsors. And thank you very much to my fans, who really believe in me”, wrote the fighter.
Just the fact that she stepped into the Octagon this weekend makes Dern a true warrior. The athlete accepted the challenge of facing one of the company's promises just four months after giving birth. Despite not having a positive result, Mackenzie didn't do badly and fought, together with Ribas, a fight that excited spectators at many moments during the fight.
At just 26 years old, the fight represented the American's eighth appearance in her career. Dern was signed to the UFC as one of the promises to win the company's belt in the future. Undefeated, the fighter made her debut for the organization in March last year.
Her second fight took place in May 2018, and, since then, the combatant had not performed again due to the gestation period. Back, Dern was committed to defending his unbeaten record against Ribas, who is in a great phase in his career and has not lost since 2015.
After three well-fought rounds, Mackenzie ended up being declared defeated by the judges' unanimous decision, which resulted in the first setback and added up to the third consecutive victory in the career of Amanda, 26, who now has eight wins and one defeat on her resume.
