Once again, Mackenzie Dern’s grappling skills were too much for her opponent. Late into the first round of her fight against Nina Nunes at UFC Vegas 23, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist was able to isolate a limb and pick up another armbar win in the Octagon. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the finish.
If Nina stops the takedown, it’s a gameover.#UFCVegas23 #UFConABC2

I didn’t think much of Dern when she got whooped by Ribas. But man she has been impressing me lately.
