The weekend in contact sports has a great appointment above all: the trilogy between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder. Despite this, the UFC has not wanted to miss it and will advance its usual schedule. He wants to warm up the previous one and he does it with a fight between two women who want the alternative. Mackenzie Dern and Marina Rodríguez collide in the star of UFC Las Vegas 39 with the intention of continuing to grow and reach the title.
Dern, 28, is fourth in the ranking (in straw weight there are two quarters) and Rodríguez, 34, is sixth. Both are aware that with a victory they may not reach the gold, but they will gain a lot of visibility. For the American, it will be her first star and for the Brazilian the second. They are on the rise.
The two come in good dynamics, although the one of Dern is better. He arrives with a streak of four wins, while Rodríguez adds two. That makes the American favorite. The lawsuit will be a very big clash of styles. Dern is a specialist in the soil (He has never knocked out and has 64% of his wins by submission). While, Rodríguez has knocked out 43% of his rivals and has only won once via submission. Therefore, the reading is clear: whoever can impose their style will have a duel that is very interesting. They both want to impress and have the best possible focus.
