Re: Mackenzie Dern
No doubt Dern needs to get her conditioning/professionalism in order, but the loathsome, venomous comments I've been reading online are a little over the top, IMO.
Between missing weight and her evolving accent, MacKenzie seems to have aroused a lot of ill-feeling amongst fans.
But it is hardly without precedent. Like I said, top fighters like Kelvin Gastelum, Anthony Pettis, Anthony Johnson have all missed weight in the past. Gina used to miss weight. Even the WMMA goat Cris Cyborg once missed weight, coming in at 152 for a 145 fight.
She simply needs to embrace the hard weight cut or move up to 125. She is still an exciting fighter to watch and you have to respect her skills. She has legit world class BJJ.
