UFC Vegas 101 Results: Mackenzie Dern stops Amanda Ribas (Video)
We have you covered for all of tonight’s UFC Vegas 101 results, including the main event rematch between Mackenzie Dern and Amanda Ribas.
Dern (14-5 MMA) and Ribas (13-5 MMA) originally collided back in October of 2019, with Amanda emerging victorious by unanimous decision.
Mackenzie Dern will enter tonight’s rematch looking to build off the momentum of her most recent victory over Loopy Godinez this past August. That win had snapped a two-fight losing skid for Dern, as she had previously suffered losses to Amanda Lemos and Jessica Andrade respectively.
Meanwhile, Amanda Ribas will be looking to rebound, this after suffering a unanimous decision loss to Rose Namajunas in her most previous effort last March. The 31-year-old has gone 2-3 over her past five Octagon appearances overall.
