Featherweight Brooke "No Mercy" Dierdorff was born on June 15, 1981, in Canton, Illinois. She grew up as the youngest of three in a small town - Somonauk, Illinois - and graduated from Somonuk High School in 1999.  Brooke participated in basketball, volleyball, softball, and track throughout school.  She was offered a scholarship to play basketball at Northen Illinois University but instead joined the U.S. Army after high school in 2000.

Dierdorff was enlisted in the U.S. Army for two years.  While serving in the Army she attended a female fight and became interested in the sport of boxing.  She was released from the Army and returned home to Illinois where she began training at Jessie (The) Torres Boxing Gym in Aurora, Illinois in October 2004.

Dierdorff competed in the Women's Chicago Golden Gloves Nationals in October 2004 and took second place in the 138-lb open division despite never having competed before.  After the National Tournament Dierdorff met Sam Colonna from Windy City Gym and began training with him, traveling the hour and a half drive to Chicago. .

Dierdorff took first place in the 125-lb division at the Chicago Golden Gloves Tournament in May 2005 and then competed in 7 shows throughout Chicago, moving her amateur record to 10-1.

In November 2005 she competed once again in the Women's Chicago Golden Gloves Nationals and took second place competing three days in a row.  She beat two top contenders who were ranked 2nd and 3rd, but lost by decision in the finals.

In 2006 Dierdorff again competed in the Chicago Golden Gloves Tournament taking first place.

On September 1, 2006 she won her pro debut at the Par-A-Dice Casino in East Peoria, Illinois, weighing in at 122½ lbs and TKO'ing Geboria Mayfield (5'5½",122½ lbs) of Columbus, Mississippi at 1:34 in the second round of a scheduled four-rounder. Mayfield fell to 1-1 with the loss.

On January 26, 2007 at the Cicero Stadium in Cicero, Illinois, promoted by Eight Count and Golden Boy Promotions, Dierdorff (123½ lbs) TKO’d Mercedes Mercury (127 lbs) of Centennial, Colorado at 1:05 in the fourth round of a scheduled four round bout. Mercury fell to 3-9-0 with the loss.

On April 7, 2007 at the Par-A-Dice Casino in Peoria, Illinois, Dierdorff (130½ lbs) brutalized DJ Morrison (132 lbs) of Billings, Montana from the opening bell until the bout was stopped at 1:12 of the first round of the scheduled four Dierdorff raised her record to 3-0 (3 KO's) while Morrison fell to 0-2.

This same month on April 20, 2007, at the Star Plaza Theater, in Merrillville, Indiana, Dierdorff (129 lbs) pulled an upset when she beat seasoned veteran Mia St.John (136½ lbs). Dierdorff won by a six-round split decision (judges scores 59-55 (St. John) , 59-55, 58-56 (Dierdorff).  Dierdorff came out very aggressively in the early rounds, while St. John whose left eye was nearly swollen shut, finished the fight strong.  Dierdorff earned an honorable mention with WBAN as fighter of the month for this win.

"I took that fight on four days notice after Rita Figueroa got hurt and had to drop out", Brooke later told WBAN correspondent Bernie McCoy. "I didn't have time to properly train and make weight but I still thought I won easily. There was a lot of talk about how I got a 'hometown' decision. The fact is I live in Illinois and the fight was in Indiana, and the truth is that Mia was the attraction that night, she was the 'house' fighter. She even came into the ring wearing the promoter's logo ... I won that first bout straight up."

On July 2, 2007, Elizabeth Villerreal Moreno (126¾ lbs) from San Antonio, Texas met Dierdorff (123½ lbs) at Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, California for a six-round featherweight bout that was scheduled to be televised. The fight was declared a technical draw and stopped after  its second round from an accidental headbutt that took place in the first round.

In a second fight with Mia St. John, that took place in 2009, she once again defeated the veteran boxer with an eight round unanimous decision (76-77, 78-76, 77-75) winning the WBC International lightweight title.

On January 29, 2010 Brooke married her trainer/manager Chris Milbrook.

In another noted bout in her opponent home ground on February 26, 2010 at the Hammond Civic Center in Hammond, Indiana, Brooke (133 lbs) won a six-round unanimous (58-56,58-56,58-56) decision over previously unbeaten local favorite Mary McGee (136 lbs) of Gary, Indiana.  The loss dropped McGee to 17-1 (10 KO's).

The win over McGee earned Dierdorff WBAN's Fighter of the Month award for March 2010.

career was fighting top female boxers, Jeannine Garside, Alicia Ashley, Olivia Gerula and more. She often fought in her opponent's backyard to keep active.
