I don’t see it. It’s a striker heavy division, but they’re competent enough grapplers, and Dern’s takedowns are garbage.I disagree. While I agree with Namajunas that this is a fight that should take place down the road, because Dern is still adapting to MMA, I see Dern as a tough out for a lot of the women at strawweight.
A specialist as dangerous as Dern can go a long way. Eventually she'll run it someone she can't get down and who won't be phased by her heavy but sloppy striking. Like Rose. But most chicks at 115 are going to lose to Dern.
