Mackenzie Dern's Bold Call: The Undefeated Tatiana Suarez Next? Bring On The Super Fight.

Well, here’s a declaration that’ll certainly get the fight world buzzing: Mackenzie Dern, the submission specialist we all know and love, isn't shy about calling her shot. And, honestly, you've got to respect that kind of ambition, haven't you?

Fresh off what was, let's be real, another solid performance, Dern has set her sights squarely on one of the strawweight division's most formidable, and frankly, terrifying prospects: Tatiana Suarez. It’s not just any fight she's after, either. Nope, Dern is talking "super fight," a term that, for once, actually feels apt when you consider the talent involved. Suarez, after all, remains undefeated, a force of nature really, particularly in the wrestling department.

Now, why Suarez, you might wonder? Dern, with that characteristic blend of confidence and respect, laid it out pretty plain. She wants to beat the best. And when you look at the landscape of the 115-pound division, Suarez certainly stands out — a true acid test for anyone's championship aspirations. "She’s a beast," Dern probably thought, "and that's exactly what I need."

The timing here is interesting, too, with chatter around UFC 322. It implies Suarez might have an impressive showing there, or perhaps the stars are just aligning for such a high-stakes encounter. For Dern, this isn't about playing it safe; it's about pushing boundaries, daring to dance with the undefeated. It’s a challenger's mentality through and through, an undeniable drive to climb that mountain, you know?

You see, Mackenzie Dern has always been about testing herself. From her decorated jiu-jitsu career right into the shark tank of the UFC, she's sought out challenges. And for a fighter like her, who has steadily sharpened her striking to complement her world-class grappling, facing someone like Suarez offers a chance to truly cement her status as a top-tier contender. It’s not just a fight; it’s a statement.

So, will the UFC matchmakers heed Dern's call? Only time, as they say, will tell. But one thing is for certain: if Dern vs. Suarez ever materializes, we're in for a clash of titans, a truly compelling stylistic matchup that could very well steal the show, no matter the card. And wouldn’t that just be something?
