In a close match at UFC 273, Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Mackenzie Dern came out on top after three rounds. In a back-and-forth bout, the world champion grappler did enough to sway two out of three judges and score a split decision win over Tecia Torres. On Twitter, not all professional fighters agreed with the result.
