JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Mackenzie Dern learned a lot from her first UFC main event, and hopes the takeaways from it will result in a victory at UFC 273. On the heels of a four-fight win streak, Dern (11-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) entered the first five-round contest of her UFC career against Marina Rodriguez in November. It was a fight that went the distance and did not go in her favor when the judges rendered their scores. However, despite the loss, Dern found lessons to apply to her upcoming bout against Tecia Torres. “I have 25 minutes of footage I can go back and just study,” Dern told MMA Junkie and other reporters at Wednesday’s media day.
