Mackenzie Dern gets it done in the UFC Vegas 101 main event, getting some revenge against Amanda Ribas in the process. The big question is — which is one Dern had a hard time answering as well — where does she go from her second consecutive victory and not a lot of fresh and realistic matchups?

Following the first UFC event of 2025, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and José Youngs react to Dern's spectacular third-round submission victory over Ribas and the potential options in front of her moving forward. Additionally, they discuss Santiago Ponzinibbio's much-needed victory over Carlton Harris in the penultimate bout, Cesar Almeida's brutal knockout of Abdul Razak Alhassan, the controversial last-second TKO stoppage win for Roman Kopylov against Chris Curtis, Punahele Soriano's quick knockout of Uros Medic, and other standout moments.
