Dern has since begun to shift her focus to a budding an MMA career and has been very successful thus far, boasting an undefeated record, including 2 victories in the UFC. Dern was planning to return to the octagon in March, but received the happy news that her next endeavor wouldn’t take place inside of a cage, as she announced she would be expecting her first child. Dern shared the news with the world on February 22nd via Instagram sounding very excited and grateful about her future as a mother, and her excitement regarding a return to competitive fighting.
In an interview with MMA Fighting Dern explains she’d like to be back in the octagon by October! That would make for a quick return, but Dern will no doubt be itching to get back into the competitive arena after her break. Dern has now set her sights on a new goal, to become the first female in the UFC to claim the belt after having a child. A feat that has never been accomplished in the UFC.
Dern and her husband, professional surfer, Wesley Santos, are expecting the new addition to their family in May.
