Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - August 14: Mackenzie Dern and Gillian Robertson, the Canadian opponents, faced off during the UFC 330 ceremonial weigh-in at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Dern, currently ranked No. 7 on the MMA Fighting Pound-for-Pound chart, is the defending champion with a record of 16-5. Robertson, ranked No. 6 at 115 pounds in the Global Rankings, enters as the underdog with a record of 17-8.
Dern, a decorated Brazilian jiu-jitsu champion, has struggled to find consistency early in her UFC career. Robertson, however, has won five straight fights to earn her shot at the title. She holds the record for the most UFC submissions by a female fighter, with seven. This is Dern's first title defense, and if she performs impressively against Robertson, she could solidify her status as the true queen of the strawweight division.
