Here's the match video of Mackenzie Dern vs Tecia Torres from last night's UFC show in Jacksonville. This fight was at Strawweight. Mackenzie is coming off a loss to Marina Rodriguez where she looked really bad. She revealed this week that she blew out her knee a week before the fight. She has had surgery. Well, that explains it. We'll see if she is back to normal. Tecia is on a three fight winning streak. But Mackenzie is a big step up in competition. Jessica Aguilar was in Tecia's corner. They trained together at ATT. Though round one was close, I thought Mackenzie won the round with more effective punches. But according to the on screen stats, Tecia landed more punches. That's why I don't like those stats. They give a false impression. In round two, Mackenzie almost finished the fight with a standing kimura. The problem was she pooped out and wasn't as effective in round three. So Tecia won round three. So I scored the fight 29-28 for Mackenzie. Two of the judges scored it the same. But the third judge scored round one for Tecia. So Mackenzie won by split decision. Considering how her last fight went, I thought she bounced back well. Enjoy the video!
