Conor McGregor might be missing the UFC action in person for a fairly long time. However, ‘The Notorious’ always keeps a close eye on the latest happenings within the promotion. With UFC Vegas 101 just concluded, the UFC world is buzzing with McKenzie Dern’s incredible victory against Amanda Ribas. Avenging her loss from 2018, Dern put Ribas in an armbar with seconds to go for the third round.
Unable to find a way to escape, Ribas tapped, giving the Brazilian a huge victory. Former UFC double champ Conor McGregor commented on the matter and expressed his excitement at the splendid performance. He even called for a trilogy fight between the two.
Taking to his X, McGregor stated, “Great fight! Awesome showcase! Mackenzie Dern, Amanda Ribas, an excellent rivalry between two Brazilians! So good! 1 a piece now, I would definitely love to see this trilogy.”

Indeed, this could well be a probability for Dern. In the post-match interview, the Brazilian mentioned that she wanted to continue her winning momentum. However, she was unsure of who the next opponent would be. Meanwhile, despite keeping an eye on Dana White’s promotion, McGregor’s return is still very much shrouded in mystery. In the meantime, his claims of having a boxing match have suffered a setback.
