At 5-0 now, MacKenzie Dern let folks know she'll be a contender in MMA last night at Invicta FC 26. I posted the results here on Steemit but while her improved striking showed in her debut, folks noticed where she needed work too. Still, it's obvious her camp at the MMA Lab knows what they're doing in helping her grow in the fight game.
She's already masterful in her submissions but her overhand right is looking to be her power move when trading blows with her opponent. She's not just throwing one and hoping for a KO either, she followed up with a nice lead/left-leg high kick too for when the right hand missed.
I'm not sure how many fights she signed up for with Invicta FC but they're relationship with the UFC as one of their developmental promotions could likely have her there sooner than we think.
