Offically, she has only landed 3 takedowns in her ufc career. This should be a glaring weakness in her game by now, right? Do you think she's at the right gym to fix this weakness? and if not, where do you think she should go?

It doesn't seem like there's as many good wrestling focused gyms for WMMA fighters as there are for males. For instance, AKA is obviously a great wrestling gym, but they seem to have very few female bodies for Dern to train with there.

Anyways, I'm just wondering what you think Dern should do next.
 
Yeah it would be good to really work that wrestling, she doesn't need to change camp perse but definitely bring in some specialists and wrestlers for sure. She has plenty of things to work on, she's currently working his striking that needs work also so regardless it will still take a long time. She just needs to keep fighting and learning outside the top 5 for the next 2 years and improve as much as she can, and hopefully she'll have the required skills by then.

She also has like 2 threads in the first 2 pages of The Heavies after a main event.

I don't think she ever get that opportunity ever again though. Very good on the ground but sucks overall. Abysmal stand up.
 
Well, damn, if true that's pretty crazy stat, considering that she also has 4 submissions in UFC too.

Does that include yesterday's fight? Cause I'm sure she scored 1 or 2.

Markos and Cifers pretty much jumped into her guard for no good reason.

She floored ABC with a punch 1st.
