With her UFC Fight Night 161 Strawweight bout against Amanda Ribas coming up, Dern opens up about what she thinks will happen when she steps on the scale for the fight.
MMA Junkie reported on what she said at the official UFC media day held on Thursday.
Dern talks about hitting the right weight
Despite missing out on three different occasions previously, Dern is positive that this time, she will definitely hit the 115lb mark correctly. She was honest about her current weight instead of being secretive and shared what she saw on the scale that morning.
But even if she meets the necessary weight, Dern thinks it will be both “good and bad”, as she expects criticisms from certain quarters because of her previous misses. But she insists that she did try her best in each of those times as well.
The contest against Ribas would be her third UFC outing and first appearance in the Octagon since giving birth in June. She owes much of her recent success with weight-cut to the pregnancy. But in any case, she says she is ready to face any and all negativity that comes her way.
The fight against Amanda Ribas will take place at the Amalie Center in Tampa, Florida on Saturday, October 12.
