Jiu-jitsu stud(ette) Mackenzie Dern was supposed to be the next big female star in the UFC. I mean, she had the looks, the credentials, and when she fought twice in the Octagon, people paid attention.

But making strawweight is never easy, and there’s no way she’s making 115-pounds now – not with that baby growing inside her.

Seriously, I have a kid. I know that these things just grow and grow. They’re relentless that way.
