She pulverized her opponent with a combination of striking and ground attacks, employing her hands and elbows to devastating effect. The judges&#8217; scorecards reflected the one-sided nature of the bout, with one judge scoring it 49-43, awarding Dern three 10-8 rounds, while the other two judges scored it 49-44 in her favor.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_45270\"  width=\"696\" height=\"391\"  data-origwidth=\"696\" data-origheight=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B6v7Ypbkfbk?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the opening round, Dern showcased her aggressive approach by knocking Hill down with a powerful punch. She then transitioned to full mount, unleashing a barrage of ground and pound. Dern also exhibited a new dimension to her game, applying a threatening armbar that Hill skillfully defended against, ultimately making it to the end of the round.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hill adjusted her strategy in the second round, adopting a more methodical approach to slow down Dern&#8217;s momentum. She landed some effective strikes on the feet, gradually chipping away at Dern&#8217;s lead. In the end, it was the dominance of Mackenzie Dern that proved to be the difference without any surprises.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After securing the victory, Dern was queried about her future plans. While expressing her willingness for a rematch with her recent adversary Yan Xiaonan, she shifted her focus to the former 115-pound champion, Rose Namajunas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;I&#8217;m not sure what Rose is currently occupied with, but if she intends to keep competing, I want to face her,&#8221; Dern disclosed to Michael Bisping.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;I&#8217;ve never had the opportunity to fight a former champion before, and I believe this could be my chance,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_15911\"  width=\"696\" height=\"391\"  data-origwidth=\"696\" data-origheight=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3vHlghWGtjk?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What do you think of the call out?
