Mackenzie Dern Dubbed One of the UFC's Top 5 'Baddies'

Mackenzie Dern is one of the UFC’s top five “baddies” according to Aljamain Sterling’s girlfriend, Rebecca Cruz.

Recently, the ‘Funk Master’ welcomed Cruz on his YouTube channel where the two discussed a variety of topics in the world of mixed martial arts. During one portion of their conversation, Sterling asked Cruz to name who she would list as her five favorite “baddies” inside the Octagon.

It should come as no surprise that Dern, who just scored her 10th UFC victory via a third-round submission over Amanda Ribas, was near the top of the list.

But who were the other four?

As you can see in the above clip, Cruz put Brazil’s Tabatha Ricci at the top of her list, followed by Dern.

Cruz then rounded out her top five with a trio of Brazilian bombshells, including Natalia Silva, Dern’s opponent at UFC Vegas 101, Amanda Ribas, and Polyana Viana, respectively.

Natalia Silva takes huge scalp in decision win over Jessica Andrade - UFC Vegas 97 Highlights

Brazilian flyweight standout, Natalia Silva has landed the most high-profile win of his naive Octagon tenure to date in tonight’s UFC Vegas 97 co-headliner, landing a unanimous decision shutout over former undisputed strawweight champion, Jessica Andrade.

Silva, who entered tonight’s flyweight affair as the number eighth ranked divisional contender, racked up her stunning twelfth straight win in her decision win tonight — and managed to scoop her sixth straight win inside the Octagon.

Prior tonight’s unanimous (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) win over Andrade at the Apex facility, Silva had previously turned in notable wins over the likes of Jasmine Jasudavicius, Victoria Leonardo, Andrea Lee, and fellow Brazilian contender, Viviane Araujo.

A former Jungle Fight flyweight champion to boot, renowned submission threat, Silva is surely now angling herself toward the flyweight title picture — which will hopefully become somewhat clearer next week as Alexa Grasso co-headlines Noche UFC in a trilogy fight with Valentina Shevchenko.
