UFC 224 Ceremonial Weigh-In Video

Today’s UFC 224 early weigh-ins saw a significant amount of drama when touted women’s strawweight Mackenzie Dern missed weight by an astonishing seven pounds for her main card bout against Amanda Bobby Cooper at tomorrow’s pay-per-view event from Rio.

The monster miss caused Dern to be fined 10 percent of her purse by CABMMA (the Brazilian athletic commission presiding over the event) and an additional 20 percent by the UFC themselves, but perhaps more damning was the fact that it was Dern’s third time missing the strawweight non-title fight weight of 116 pounds in only six professional MMA bouts.

As expected, Cooper called her out for her unprofessionalism, and the rest of MMA Twitter, of course, did the same.

The spotlight would expectedly be on the women’s bantamweight championship fight between Amanda Nunes and Raquel Pennington in the UFC 224 main event, but with both fighters making weight effectively, all of the focus is on the hype Dern brings and her inability to make weight consistently.

That could lead to a tense staredown with Cooper at this afternoon’s ceremonial weigh-ins, which you can watch streaming live at 4 p.m EST/1 p.m. PST below:

UFC 224 Media Day Staredowns: Did Amanda Cooper Snub Mackenzie Dern?

Did Amanda Bobby Cooper snub Mackenzie Dern at today’s #UFC224 media day?

The post UFC 224 Media Day Staredowns: Did Amanda Cooper Snub Mackenzie Dern? appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Earlier today, the media day for this Saturday night’s (May 12, 2018) UFC 224 went down from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and the fighters squared off in the traditional intense moment following the press event.

There was legend Vitor Belfort squaring off with Lyoto Machida for what is supposedly his last MMA fight in what appeared to be a bathrobe, but perhaps the most notable moment of the evening was rising talent Mackenzie Dern’s staredown with her second UFC opponent Amanda Bobby Cooper.

With both women dressed to the nines for the promotion for the buzzing bout, Dern and Cooper squared off in a polite-enough faceoff before Dern attempted to shake Cooper’s hand at the end but was denied. It was maybe a momentary slip, however, as Cooper went back to offer her hand shortly thereafter.
