HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares meddelte i dag, at MMA-superudsigten Mackenzie Dern vil vende tilbage til LFA Octagon i hendes hjemby Phoenix, Arizona ved LFA 24.

Den tidligere annoncerede hovedbegivenhed i LFA 24 vil byde på en weltervægtskrig mellem to af divisionens marquee-navne, når australsk annihilator Matthew “Torden fra Down Under” Frincu står over for det sydlige Californiens juggernaut “Curtious” Curtis Millender.

På13 oktober, hun skal møde RFA-dyrlægen og IFBBs professionelle fitnesskonkurrent Mandy Polk i fluevægtsdivisionen.”

Dern (3-0) er datter af legendariske jiu-jitsu og judo sort bælte Wellington “Megaton” Dias. Hun begyndte at træne med sin far i en tidlig alder i Phoenix-området og betragtes nu bredt som en af ​​de mest dygtige jiu-jitsu-udøvere, der nogensinde har konkurreret i MMA. Den mangedobbelte jiu-jitsu verdensmester har vundet en verdenstitel på hver række (blåt bælte gennem sort bælte) og 2015 føjede en ADCC Submission Wrestling World-titel til sin trofæetui. Dern vil forsøge at forsvare denne ADCC-titel denne weekend i Finland. Efter ADCC 2017, kvinden, som den tidligere UFC-mester Benson Henderson berømt udtalte “bliver større end Ronda Rousey”, vender tilbage til LFA Octagon foran hendes hjembys publikum på LFA 24.
Polk (3-3) vil være kvinden, der venter på at byde Dern velkommen til fluevægtsafdelingen. Dette er UFC's nyeste vægtklasse, der i øjeblikket vises i den nuværende sæson af UFC's hit reality tv-serie The Ultimate Fighter (TUF 26). “Frøken Opførsel” er indfødt i Memphis, Tennessee-området og har et lilla bælte i jiu-jitsu. Hun er også en high school wrestling coach og IFBB professionel fitness konkurrent. Polk konkurrerede ved den sidste RFA-begivenhed (RFA 46) før RFA fusionerede med Legacy FC. Ved underskrift med RFA og kendskab til den eventuelle fusion, Polk gjorde sine intentioner klart, at hun ville elske muligheden for at konkurrere mod Dern, der konkurrerede for Legacy FC. Polk vil nu få sit ønske i LFA 24.
