BJJ World Champion Mackenzie Dern, was on fire this past weekend at the FIVE Grappling Super League (5SL). Mackenzie was one of 8 women vying for a $10,000 first place prize in the women’s bracket of the inaugural event held at Studio 540 in Solano Beach, CA.
Donning her War Tribe gi for the very first time, Mackenzie Dern dominated the opposition with an aggressive style that saw her submit Tammi Musumeci, Fabiana Borges, and Karen Antunes en route to the first place victory. Her total fight time was no more than five minutes as she reconfirmed her status as arguably the top female grappler in the world.
Also, on the men’s side, it was Tim Spriggs besting a field that included Yuri Simoes in the final along with a spirited match with Lucas Rocha in the semi-finals.
