8-bit MMA Weekend Preview

By Darryn Smith

This weekend we have Legacy Fight Alliance 6 with Rivaldo Junior vs Ray Rodriguez in mainevent Friday night on AXS TV. While #UFCFortaleza returns to Brazil with Vitor Belfort vs Kelvin Gastelum headlining that event Saturday night. Also, Bethe Correia vs Marion Reneau on the card. I am excited for both cards going down this weekend.

I am really looking for to #LFA6 card Friday night. The mainevent looks very promising but my main focus this weekend will be on Mackenzie Dern vs former US Army SGT Katherine Roy. If you have never heard of Mackenzie Dern, fight fans are in for a treat watching her. She has a impressive resume as a Black belt champion in BJJ and she is only 23 years young. She is 2-0 as a pro in WMMA. Dern is a ADCC 60kg Champ, Abu Dhabi World Champ, No Gi World Champ, Pan American/European Champion,and a long list of other accomplishments added to her BJJ career. She is well known in BJJ World but MMA fans need to take notice come Friday. She trains with the best in the world. Dern fights out of The MMA Lab in Arizona. 

John Crouch is one of the best underrated head trainers out there. He still trains former UFC champion Benson Henderson, who now fights in Bellator MMA and other notable MMA stars there. In addition, I have seen Mackenzie in BJJ tournaments throughout time but I am really looking forward to her inside the cage this weekend. Mackenzie has potential to be bigger than Ronda Rousey one day. She's charismatic and very marketable in this sport. Make sure to tune in for this fight.
