To get there Dern 2-0 in UFC displaced Angela Hill. Hill is a seasoned veteran with 8-4 record and last 4 in the UFC over the last year – not to mention she’s successfully made weight for those 4 fights.

UFC Strawweights Livid Over Mackenzie Dern In Rankings: “Get Bumped by a f***ing Flyweight”

According to MMA Mania, the undefeated mixed martial artist and IBJJF Champion was kicked off the rankings due to her inability to make weight for her most recent fight.

Here’s how the rankings work, courtesy of UFC.com:

Rankings were generated by a voting panel made up of media members. The media members were asked to vote for who they feel are the top fighters in the UFC by weight-class and pound-for-pound. A fighter is only eligible to be voted on if they are in active status in the UFC. A fighter can appear in more than one weight division at a time. The champion and interim champion are considered to be in the top positions of their respective divisions and therefore are not eligible for voting by weight-class. However, the champions can be voted on for the pound-for-pound rankings.
