Rising UFC strawweight contender Mackenzie Dern has issued a statement after her decision victory over Virna Jandiroba on the UFC 256 main card.<\/p>\n

Despite being two of the best jiu jitsu players in women’s MMA, Dern and Jandiroba spent the majority of their three-round strawweight contest slugging it out on the feet. In fact, had the UFC 256 main event between Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno\u2014an all-time great fight\u2014gone differently, Dern and Jandiroba almost certainly would have received $50,000 Fight of the Night bonuses.<\/p>\n

After winning her unexpected firefight with Jandiroba by decision, Dern took to Instagram to issue a statement.<\/p>\n
