Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Amanda Lemos vs Mackenzie Dern

Here's the fight video of Amanda Lemos vs Mackenzie Dern from last night's UFC show in Anaheim, CA. This fight is at Strawweight. Tatiana Suarez was supposed to be Amanda's opponent. But she got injured and Mackenzie filled in on short notice. Both are flawed elite fighters. Amanda is 36 years old from Para, Brazil. She trains at Marajo Brothers which is the Alcantara brothers. She is 7-3 in the UFC. She got a title shot in her last fight but lost. Winning this fight is not going to get her another title shot and she knows it. Amanda is a hard puncher but Zhang Weili outclassed her. Mackenzie is 30 years old. She says she is training again with Jason Parillo but he wasn't in her corner. Mackenzie is 8-3 in the UFC. She lost her last fight to Jessica Andrade. Mackenzie has elite BJJ but her striking is subpar. That's why she needs Parillo. Winning this fight will not get her a title shot. She's a placeholder until Tatiana is healthy. It was a great fight. They won the Fight of the Night bonus. Round one was close but I thought Amanda won it 10-9. I thought Amanda was going to get a finish in round two but I scored it 10-8. Mackenzie won round three 10-9. But she needed a finish. So I scored it 29-27 for Amanda. All three judges scored it 29-28 for Amanda. Amanda said she still wants to fight Tatiana. And I expect that to happen as soon as possible. Enjoy the video.
