Mackenzie Dern has evened up the series with Amanda Ribas.
The jiu-jitsu ace faced Ribas in the main event of UFC Vegas 101 on Saturday at the APEX. After two competitive rounds, Dern and Ribas battled into Round 3, and after a wild scramble, Dern ended up on top. She eventually worked for an armbar and while Ribas defended well for a bit, with just three seconds left in the round, Ribas was forced to tap after Dern got full extension.
Dern picked up her second consecutive victory, and exacted a bit of revenge over Ribas, who defeated Dern around five years ago via unanimous decision.

#UFCVegas101 was a banger of a card!!! It’s gonna be a hard decision for @danawhite when deciding who’s going to get that bonus. I would personally give it to Cesinha Almeida, Mackenzie Dern, Felipe Bunes. Jacobe Smith too. Cut the check
