Awesome fight girls ------------ congrats @wmmarz

That arm was about to go home with Dern! Run grappling exchanges and big GnP! 1-1 going into the 3rd for me. #UFCVegas39
— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) October 9, 2021
Some feints would’ve done Dern well in this fight. Too much chasing and predictable attacks for Rodriguez to read and cut angles out of danger. Fun fight still. Both ladies showed some serious threats in both their worlds of experience #UFCVegas39

No level changes from Mackenzie she needs to work with Khabib or cejudo

Marina is a baaaad woman

Those transitions! Leg attack to sweep to crucifix to mount. High level! #UFCVegas39

Dern is looking lost and Rodriguez is really letting that stand up go

Holy shit!!!! Just when you think one is done! Dern turned it around. More time on the clock and she would have had that arm bar @ufc
