Mackenzie Dern is fighting just 4 months after having a baby. Women out here trying to stay out of desk job for 6months after birth #UFCTAMPA

@MackenzieDern Great fight so far from both ladies- but win or lose- I’m proud of that girl! I’m not even a mother & she looks amazing & is performing well. THATS the definition of girl power. Get it girl. @ufc @BlackHouseMMA #UFCTampa
