Mackenzie Dern Admits She’s Not Yet Ready for Weili Zhang-Level Challenge

#5-ranked Dern candidly said she wouldn’t be prepared to face Zhang if the former champion still held the strawweight belt. “I wouldn’t say no to a title shot, but I don’t think I’d be ready right now,” she said. Dern, coming off a submission win over Amanda Ribas, next faces Virna Jandiroba for the title at UFC 321 this weekend.
