10 Unmissable UFC Fights To Watch In October

After only having her first child four months ago, jiu-jitsu legend Mackenzie Dern is back in the UFC to take on well-rounded fight-finisher, Amanda Ribas. Although Dern is undefeated in her career, Ribas will be her toughest task yet as she poses multiple threats for the grappling champion.

Everyone knows Dern's game is to take the fight to the floor and she's been extremely successful in doing that since she transitioned over to MMA. Her finishes have been clean, yet extremely brutal, and she's also improved her striking along the way. However, she's also come in overweight on several occasions and that lack of discipline puts an asterisk next to those wins.

While there are questions to ask of her previous opponents and whether or not they were legit challenges, you don't need to doubt Ribas' talent. If you've seen any of her bouts, you'll know that the 26-year old is good in all areas, oftentimes using her striking to get her into submission positions.

Although she's shown that she's got a very good ground game, it might be smart for Ribas to keep this fight standing. As we've seen throughout Dern's brief, yet violent, career, when the fight goes to the ground, she's a cut above everyone else in her division.
