Just read that Dern is now booked to fight Brazilian Amanda Ribas in Tampa on the same card that Joanna J fights Michelle Waterson.

Quite surprised to be honest that Dern is attempting to come back this year, and also...... she really thinks she's gonna make 116lbs at the weigh-in?? (115+1lb allowance).

I mean she struggled mightily BEFORE she had a kid so.....well let's see. I would be very surprised if she makes weight to be honest. It will have been 4months since she gave birth in June.
It's Ribas's 2nd UFC fight after she beat Emily Whitmire a couple of months ago via RNC.

I guess at least Dern won't need to speak English much, Ribas is Brazilian......<45>

Doubt it, not sure why the UFC doesnt force her to 125, other than the champ division is probably weaker than 115.
 
lol don't you have a newborn to raise with your boyfriend of 2 weeks?

i guess ya gotta pay the bills in the end whatevs
 
Dern is the fattest WMMA fighter I have ever seen. If she makes 115, she deserves a michelin-starred tiramisu.
 
To be fair she probably had to eat better when she was pregnant then she did when she was an active fighter.

but she's a life long athlete but she def likes her cookies and ice cream
 
Will the ac allow her to fight at that division?? Will she have to prove she can healthily make weight?

Well, you're about to see a 115-120lb Dern on the scales in her unmentionables - good times.
