Mackenzie Dern doesn’t plan on taking any break day following her title-winning efficiency at UFC 321.
The BJJ bombshell lastly broke by, defeating Virna Jandiroba via unanimous decision to assert the vacant strawweight world championship in Abu Dhabi.
It was indubitably the most important win of Dern’s profession, however she doesn’t plan to sit down again and revel in it for very lengthy.
“I really feel slightly sore, however I really feel superb,” Dern stated throughout her UFC 321 post-fight interview. “You recognize, I believe we let all of it on the market. We actually gave our greatest to try to get the struggle. It’s like a dream come true, however each time I attain a purpose I all the time make a brand new one. So I’m already fascinated by getting again within the fitness center, getting higher, and I do know I’ve an enormous goal on my again now. So I wish to be certain that I’m prepared for what’s coming subsequent.”
What’s subsequent for Dern stays to be seen, however she’s welcoming all challengers, together with former two-time champ Zhang Weili and the division’s No. 2 ranked contender, Tatiana Suarez.
“I don’t know the way a lot say I’ve now being a champion,” Dern stated. “I don’t know the way a lot my phrase and my choices get into play. However I’m right here to defend it, so whoever will get despatched to me, I’ll be prepared for. I don’t know if (Zhang) Weili (will come again), however I’d undoubtedly prefer to struggle Tatiana (Suarez). Possibly she will get yet one more struggle in.
