Mackenzie Dern‘s Best Cards
For the last half-decade, Brazilian jiu jitsu ace Mackenzie Dern has manipulated enough limbs to make her presence in the Octagon unforgettable. As a perennial top ten fighter currently ranked no.6, the woman with the second-most submission wins in UFC history is eyeing a run at the top.
Her journey to the belt begins in the first UFC event in 2025, with Dern headlining UFC Fight Night versus Amanda Ribas. She looks to cement a claim for a title shot against Zhang Weili and rule the strawweight women’s division. Naturally, this means it’s time to look back at her vintage cards to collect and choice picks from last year’s 2024 Topps Midnight UFC and the newly-released 2024 Topps Gold Label UFC.
