This is the UFC Abu Dhabi live blog for Mackenzie Dern vs. Loopy Godinez, the main card strawweight matchup on Saturday evening. A multiple-time world champion in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Dern joined the UFC in 2018 and while she’s carved out a solid career, she’s yet to truly live up to the massive expectations fans had for her. Dern’s jiu-jitsu is obviously world class, but the rest of her game has not caught up, resulting in a number of losses against the top opposition at 115 pounds, including back-to-back defeats against Jessica Andrade and Amanda Lemos. If Dern has any hope of getting to a title shot one day, she needs to stop the skid with a win on Saturday.
