Her English has come a long way. It's impressive how fast this native Brazilian picked up the language. She'll be speaking like a suburban Arizona woman in no time.

Wow, I'm watching this over the Premier League on a Saturday early afternoon. It must be LOVE 🥰
She makes quite a few great points. The only place that you will truly find "unconditional love" is from "direct" family members. Mom and Dad will always want the best for you. Cousins and Aunts will unfortunately just so happen to attempt to come back into your life for the money and attention. Many of them secretly hope that you do not surpass them in life, and then when you do, they just want to drain you of your positive life energy, fame, money, and any other thing that they still lack. It is so rare to find another genuine person. The are so many red flags to look out for during your come up. Just focus on yourself and only reward the truly loyal. Don't play yourself, and never let those closest to you try and play you. God Bless.
Let’s see these two in the octagon, grappling only.
Dad here with a three month old and I’m preparing to enter a camp and the guilt I have already with the training I do is always in my head. But I resonated with her and having to do things for you too. It’s hard and weird but necessary.

I love how consistently positive Mackenzie Dern is. I think she will win this. I think she gets Yan down and then it's finished. I hope she humbles herself and obsessively drills wrestling takedowns. Her Jiu-jitsu and Judo takedowns are working for her, but her lack of techniques from wrestling are holding her back at the highest level. She needs to drill thousands of double legs, thousands of high crotches, thousands of single legs etc.. She needs to become obsessed with wrestling, so she can use her Jiu-jitsu
