Mackenzie Dern is celebrating her second win in the UFC but there’s no doubt her latest victory was overshadowed by the controversy that surrounded her weigh-in just 24 hours earlier. On Friday, Dern stepped onto the scale at 123 pounds — a full seven pounds over the strawweight limit —but her opponent Amanda Cooper decided […]

Although some were certainly overlooking the card, UFC 224, which took place last night (Sat., May 12, 2018) live on pay-per-view (PPV) from Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, turned out to be an incredible event from top to bottom.
The card featured not only a plethora of exciting fights but a high number of electrifying finishes as well, so many that it tied 2014’s UFC Fight Night 55 for the most finishes on a UFC card with 11.
In the main event, women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes dominated Raquel Pennington en route to a fifth-round stoppage victory, successfully defending her 135-pound title for the third consecutive time.
In the co-main event, former The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) winner Kelvin Gastelum scored a narrow, hard-fought split decision victory over Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza. Touted women’s strawweight Mackenzie Dern also continued her rise despite a big weight miss, dropping and submitting Amanda Cooper with ease.
With the event now in the rearview mirror, let’s take a look at the five best fights to make moving forward:
Prior to booking Nunes vs. Pennington, UFC president Dana White had expressed interest in scheduling a super fight between Nunes and women’s 145-pound champion Cris Cyborg.
Both fighters had appeared to show some level of interest in the potential bout as well, although it never came to fruition.
Now is the time to make it happen, however.
Following her victory over Pennington, Nunes has no clear challenger awaiting her at 135 pounds. Cyborg, on the other hand, is coming off of a vicious stoppage victory over Yana Kunitskaya, and she too doesn’t have a definite challenger awaiting her. She hardly has a division around her if we’re honest.
Cyborg could conceivably defend her title against the winner of UFC 225’s Holly Holm vs. Megan Anderson bout next month. Furthermore, Cyborg has already beaten Holm and Anderson will only be making her UFC debut in the upcoming bout, although it is indeed true that she was momentarily scheduled to fight Cyborg last summer.
Regardless, a bout between Cyborg and Nunes makes sense. Both are dominant Brazilian champions and Nunes could very well have the skills required to challenge Cyborg.
It’s simply the biggest women’s bout the UFC can book right now and has to happen.

Last night’s (Sat., May 12, 2018) UFC 224 from the Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, may have featured a title bout between Amanda Nunes and Raquel Pennington in the main event, but it’s safe to say much of the attention was on hyped prospect Mackenzie Dern and her latest scale fail.
After she missed weight by a monstrous seven pounds, Dern was expectedly raked over the coals by her opponent Amanda Bobby Cooper and the rest of MMA social media.
That only increased the pressure on Dern to win and win big in the birthplace of her family heritage, and she did just that in a quick, one-sided victory using both of her developing MMA skillsets. Cooper was more known for her striking skill than Brazilian jiu-jitsu champion Dern, but ‘ABC’ was unable to mount any offense.
And while it was thought Dern would win the fight on the mat and she ultimately did, she also showed some increasing stand-up by rocking her opponent with a huge looping shot early on, opening the door for a tight, fight-ending rear-naked choke in the first round.
Watch the highlights of Dern’s second UFC win right here:
