Mackenzie Dern eyes long title reign, Zachary Reese on short-notice win, UFC Fight Night: Bonfim vs. Brown recap

Jim Norton and Matt Serra kick off UFC 322 fight week with a pair of recent winners — UFC strawweight champion Mackenzie Dern and rising middleweight Zachary Reese.

First, Mackenzie joins the show fresh off winning UFC gold to discuss the emotion of celebrating with her daughter cageside, her evolution under coach Jason Parillo, and her readiness for whoever comes next — whether that be Tatiana Suarez or Zhang Weili after Saturday’s co-main vs. Valentina Shevchenko.

Then, Zachary Reese calls in just days after his wild short-notice victory in Las Vegas. The Texas native breaks down how the fight came together, how sparring five rounds with Sean Strickland boosted his confidence, and what he plans to do with his $50K bonus.

Plus, Jim and Matt react to this past weekend’s APEX card headlined by Gabriel Bonfim and Randy Brown.
