Here's the match video of Mackenzie Dern vs Randa Markos from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Strawweight. Mackenzie is a BJJ whiz with subpar striking. She is now training with Cris Cyborg's coach Jason Parillo in Huntington Beach, CA. Randa is from Windsor, ON and she trains at Michigan Top Team in Dearborn, MI. She is a wrestler with subpar striking prone to mistakes. She has alternated wins and losses since she was in TUF 20. After Mackenzie slips, Randa jumps into her guard which was a big mistake. Randa tries to posture up but Mackenzie is very active from the bottom. She goes for an armbar but her foot is trapped. Mackenzie lands strikes to distract Randa and that gets her foot loose and the armbar submission. I think the jury is still out on Mackenzie because I need to see if her striking has improved and I knew I wasn't going to see that in this fight. However, I am hopeful that Parillo can help her with that. Maybe Angela Hill would be an appropriate opponent. Enjoy the video!
