Mackenzie Dern
- Odds: -225
- Record: 12-2-0
- Age: 29
- Height: 1.63 m
- Weight: 52 kg
- Reach: 160 cm
Over four years since her UFC debut, Mackenzie Dern is ranked number five in the UFC and is a well-rounded fighter who is dangerous to any opponent. She has recovered from a couple of defeats and has come back stronger.
After her first setback in 2019, she added four wins in a row, three of them by submission. In 2021 she was stopped by Marina Rodríguez, but this year she came out on top against Tecia Torres in a bout that put her to the test.
A native of Phoenix, Arizona, she is the daughter of Brazilian parents, who instilled in her a passion for martial arts and especially for a specialty of that South American country: jiu-jitsu. This will be his second starring bout.
Yan Xiaonan
- Odds: +190
- Record: 13-3-0
- Age: 33
- Height: 1.65 m
- Weight: 52 kg
- Reach: 160 cm
Yan Xiaonan climbed the division at a rapid pace from 2017 to 2021, when she lost for the first time in UFC. She entered the octagon with more than 10 professional fights, and she did it in a big way: she beat her first six opponents, all by decision, including Angela Hill, Karolina Kowalkiewicz and Claudia Gadelha.
The last 12 months have been complicated by two defeats in a row (to Marina Rodríguez and Carla Esparza). However, she is facing a great opportunity to return to the limelight through the front door.
JefeBet Prediction
Yan Xiaonan knows she is facing a good opportunity, but the truth is that she is coming off a bad run in the UFC. That is why we at JefeBet believe Mackenzie Dern will take advantage of this to win categorically, making use of her virtues in the art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, a specialty she masters to perfection.
Prediction: Mackenzie Dern wins by submission.
