UFC Women’s Champ Mackenzie Dern made some interesting comments during her UFC 330 media appearance.
Last week, Ian Garry went viral when he said he believes the world would be a better place if women ran it.
“If the world was run by women, we’d all live in a better world,” the 28-year-old said. “It would all be simpler and easier. That’s the fact of the matter, whether you want to agree with it or not. If women ruled the world, and we just listened to them and let them take over, it would be an easier world.”

Dern was asked about Garry’s comment, and she disagreed.
“I come from a little bit more traditional upbringing. Obviously, the women in my family are super strong and independent. And they taught me how to be a strong woman. But I like the guy protecting, leading and doing that stuff. And I like to just relax. If I need to go to war with him, I will. But I’m a mommy. I think it’s very good that we’re strong women and we don’t depend on guys. But I like the man taking the lead.”
