“Yesterday wasn’t the result I was training for, but this fight is the biggest learning experience for me,” Dern wrote on Instagram. “Now I have a lot to look back on and fix to become a better fighter! For sure a submission would have been great but to have these rounds for me to work on is such a blessing.”
The 28-year-old Dern was coming off a streak in which she bested Hannah Cifers, Randa Markos, Virna Jandiroba and Nina Nunes in succession. The RVCA product is 6-2 in the UFC and 11-2 as a professional overall.
