Here's the fight video of Jessica Andrade vs Mackenzie Dern from last night's UFC show in New York City. This fight is at Strawweight. Jessica is 32 years old from Brazil. She trains at PRVT in Las Vegas. Her UFC record is 15-10. She's a former Strawweight champ but she's on a three fight losing streak. So she needs a win. Mackenzie is 30 years old. Her UFC record is 8-3. She's been alternating wins and losses. She needs a win to get into the title picture. She has elite BJJ. Her striking was improving under coach Jason Parillo. But he's not coaching her anymore. She did train some with Henry Cejudo but her dad was in her corner. And it's unlikely that he can help her with her striking against Jessica. And that's how it went. Jessica won round one with her striking. And she knocked Mackenzie down at the end of the round. She was even more dominant in round two. And after three knockdowns, the ref stopped the fight. So Jessica won by TKO. Can Jessica be a title contender again? I don't know. Her losses were against top contenders. All this win shows is that Mackenzie is not a top contender. That makes Jessica a gatekeeper. We'll see if she can be more than that. I have my doubts. Enjoy the video!
