This clip from the full episode features Mackenzie Dern opening up about how her UFC career really began. She explains that after winning major world titles in jiu jitsu, she wasn’t even thinking about becoming a UFC champion. She was focused on learning the basics, getting punched, throwing punches, and seeing if MMA was even right for her.
Mackenzie breaks down how her goals grew over time. First it was learning to strike. Then it was testing herself in fights. Then she realized a championship was within reach. Now that she has the belt, she talks about wanting a strong title reign with multiple defenses. This is a rare look at how a champion’s mindset forms step by step.
