Twenty-four fighters competing at UFC 298 underwent the ceremonial weigh-in on Friday. Ranked lightweight contender Bobby Green provided commentary alongside hosts Laura Sanko, Dan Hellie, and Michael Bisping. Green’s attention was momentarily diverted when strawweight standout Mackenzie Dern approached the scale.

Green seemed awestruck by Dern’s impressive physique. Her training had definitely paid off, which was evident from Bobby Green’s remarks. Her impressive physique and her upbeat demeanor totally took Green’s attention away. This is what Green commented as Dern walked onto the scale:

Sheesh.

Green’s candid reaction to Dern’s weigh-in appearance amused many. It momentarily stole focus from the imminent title fights at UFC 298. Dern aims to rebound after a disappointing loss to former champion Jessica Andrade in November. Amanda Lemos poses an obstacle in Dern’s path to redemption. Lemos returns to the octagon for the first time since losing to current champion Zhang Weili in a title bout last August. Her inactivity may play a factor in the upcoming strawweight fight.

UFC 298 is a packed card with excellent fights. The event features a highly anticipated featherweight title bout between champion Alexander Volkanovski and undefeated Ilia Topuria. It also pits former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker against Brazilian powerhouse Paulo Costa in the co-main event. 

MacKenzie Dern battles Amanda Lemos at UFC 298

UFC 298 showcases a banger of a fight for the women’s strawweight division. Submission ace Mackenzie Dern will face off against heavy hitter Amanda Lemos at UFC 298. The strawweight fight serves as the featured prelim before the pay-per-view main card.

Both women aim to rebound from recent setbacks. Dern hopes to bounce back after a knockout loss to Jessica Andrade last November. Lemos looks to recover from a lopsided decision defeat to Zhang Weili in a title bout last August. A victory would shoot either fighter’s career up the 115-pound ranks. The winner could position themselves close to another shot at UFC gold.

Dern entered MMA in 2016 after achieving tremendous success in BJJ competitions. She quickly became the most dangerous submission artist in the UFC women’s strawweight division. Lemos holds a significant striking advantage on the feet. She packs fight-ending power in her hands and is a vicious Muay Thai practitioner. The fight between a striker and a grappler is one for the ages. Fight fans will definitely be anticipating this matchup.
