It didn’t take long for Mackenzie Dern to take Nina Nunes into her world.
Looking to make it four straight wins, Dern welcomed Nunes back to the octagon on the main card of UFC on ABC 2 last April.
Dern rushed Nunes with some hard combinations until she managed to clinch up and stack her against the cage. Nunes broke free, but Dern was able to latch onto a single leg and trip her to the mat. The ADCC champion controlled Nunes in top position and eventually transitioned to an armbar. Nunes fought hard, but once Dern was able to separate her arm, she forced the quick tap from Nunes.
Dern (12-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) returns to action Oct. 1 when she takes on Yan Xiaonan (15-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) in the main event of UFC Fight Night 211, which takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Before she faces Xiaonan, relive Dern’s finish of Nunes in the video above.
