Dern is Not a Good Striker. Congrats to Marina.

MOD EDIT:

Congrats to Marina for actually knowing how to strike and she showed some good defensive BJJ there.

Her coaches were actually teaching her how to punch during the fight. Sad

So you make the same comment again? You could say "her striking is just plain awful". Your point would be made.

I'm curious where this goes.

The Wasteland most likely

You could criticize something with more tact.

I mean after that particular post I broke down what I thought the X factors were. It’s not like I didn’t know who either was.

Dern time and time again continues to fight with two left feet and closes her eyes or looks at the ground when she throws punches.

So you make the same comment again? You could say "her striking is just plain awful". Your point would be made.

I was trying to make an argument on to bet on underdog Marina which I did. But it seems like money was pouring in on Dern from entire public and shifted the vegas odds.

Derm is a BJJ specialist and very good but BJJ doesn’t win alone anymore. She has adequate striking If she had wrestling but she doesn’t have a good way to get to the ground. She is tougher than Rhonda ever was. Rhonda would have folded to the strikes but she will not be a champion without the ability to control where fight happens.

Rhonda never folded she got knocked the fuck out... She was way more aggressive than Mackenzie and kept coming forward trying to get takedowns..Dern has better striking than rhonda

This. She needs to keep working on wrestling (takedowns) but it's hard to get good at an older age .
