In one of the most highly anticipated Octagon debuts in recent memory, Mackenzie Dern squeaked out a victory over Ashley Yoder at UFC 222 on Saturday night in Las Vegas. Dern, 5-0 coming into the fight, is one of the most highly decorated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and grappling experts in the world and had rolled over many of her opponents as she was working her way to the UFC. Dern opened strong, throwing wild punches and pressing Yoder to the fence, but she couldn’t secure the takedown that everyone thought would be coming early in the fight.
