The media day tasks that Mackenzie Dern was assigned for UFC 298 were recently completed, and she spoke to reporters about the exciting pay-per-view event that will take place this weekend, as well as her forthcoming battle against Amanda Lemos in the women’s strawweight division.
After sharing a video of her appearance on media day on social media, Dern drove her followers into a frenzy despite the fact that she was wearing an appealing tube top and denim leggings for her interviews. In a short amount of time, followers swarmed to the comments area of the post to share their opinions.
The following is what Dern’s new companion had to say about her outfit:
“Splendid, sensational, awesome.”
One more supporter wrote:
“You broke so many hearts with your new boyfriend’s picture.”

The previous year, Dern went through a very difficult divorce, which resulted in her separation from her long-term companion, the professional surfer Wesley Santos. Despite this, it seems as though she has moved on with her life and has just lately made her news about her new relationship public.
Since the beginning of this year, she has been in a relationship with Antonio Trocoli, who is also a Brazilian mixed martial arts competitor named Antonio. Currently, the 33-year-old fighter competes in the 205-pound division and has a record of 12-3 in his professional career.
After defeating Kenneth Bergh by submission in the first round of Dana White’s Contender Series in 2019, he was awarded a contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. However, his victory was eventually overturned to a no-contest due to a failed doping test, and his contract was terminated as a result.
Mackenzie Dern discusses training process for Amanda Lemos fight at UFC 298
In a recent interview, Mackenzie Dern discussed her impending fight against Amanda Lemos at UFC 298. She also discussed how she is in a different mental condition than she was in the previous year. Dern is taking over for Tatiana Suarez, who was unable to compete in this fight due to an injury and was forced to withdraw from the competition.
During the course of the previous year, Dern went through a difficult divorce process, during which she left her primary training gym and her manager. In light of all that was going on in her personal life, it should come as no surprise that she was unable to train as she had hoped for her bout against Jessica Andrade, which took place at UFC 295 in November of last year.
Despite the fact that Dern is coming off of a knockout loss in the second round against Andrade, she is prepared to defend herself against Lemos with a clear head and clean body. During the interview that took place on the media day for UFC 298, she stated:
It took me two months to get ready for Jessica, but I was able to train more in these four weeks than I was able to train in those two months. Consequently, simply due to the fact that that page was flipped, I am so content with my current situation, regardless of whether it is financially, emotionally, or physically… The page has flipped, and I am in a completely better place in my life. It is a part of life to have both successes and failures.
