Mackenzie Dern made headlines for the wrong reason today when she missed weight for her scheduled UFC 224 bout against Amanda Cooper by a whopping seven pounds.

Despite being so young in her MMA career, missing weight has been a reoccurring issue for Dern (6-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC). She badly botched the mark for her scheduled strawweight bout with Cooper (3-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC), which airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and UFC fight Pass from Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro.

The fight at UFC 224 still will go on, but the situation brought on a lot of heat for the undefeated prospect. For more, check below for the top Twitter reactions to Dern’s UFC 224 weigh-in miss.
