She should’ve used that energy celebrating to cut weight! ☕️ #UFC224

Wow. @johnlineker hand picks his opponent and he wins… Yet he’s been running from me for years. And continues to do so. I would #DESTROY Him. I’ve been begging to fight in at the end of June. Bet he says NO again. @Jon_Anik @jimmysmithmma #UFC224

She threw that like a fastball! #UFC224

I think she’s coasting on talent at the moment though. Maybe she will get her act together before taking a loss, but seven pounds is unprofessional, and a sign that she isn’t preparing properly.

Mackenzie Dern with the win/finish in round 1. Overhand, mount, RNC. Let’s hope she learns from this weigh-in debacle and never misses weight again. #UFCRio

Mackenzie Dern still undefeated at every weight she’s competed in. #happyweight #UFC224

I was just saying that if Dern connects with one of those flinging punches it could do some damage and sure enough led to a Rnc. But let’s not forget 123lbs…#ufc224

Damn Dern lands that bomb then chokes her out.. woulda been better had she not missed weight by 7lbs tho #UFC224
— Shane Burgos (@HurricaneShaneB) May 13, 2018
This isn’t the first time she’s missed weight. But okay.

I think two things we can take away from Lineker and Dern is making weight and throwing straight punches are for losers. #ufc224
