Hannah Cifers vs. Mackenzie Dern in the works for UFC event on May 23
Seems Mackenzie Dern will return to action next month.
The jiu-jitsu star has a strawweight bout against Hannah Cifers in the works for a May 23 UFC event. The news was first reported by MMA Fighting and later confirmed by MMA Junkie’s Nolan King.
The UFC has yet to announce the event. Location for the May 23 card is currently unknown, but could be in Jacksonville, Fla., where the UFC will be having its next three events on May 9, 13 and 16.
Dern (7-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) was booked to fight at UFC Lincoln on April 25 against Ariane Carnelossi, but the bout was scrapped as the UFC was forced to cancel the card due to coronavirus restrictions. Dern last fought in October, when she suffered her first professional loss in a decision against Amanda Ribas.
Meanwhile, Cifers (10-4 MMA, 2-2 UFC) will look to bounce back from a technical knockout loss to Angela Hill back in January. The defeat snapped a two-fight winning streak for the 27-year-old fighter.
