Amanda Nunes vs Megan Anderson highlights recap from UFC 259. Nunes vs Anderson is the co-main event from UFC 259. Megan Anderson isn’t oblivious to the odds against her at UFC 259.
In order to become UFC featherweight champion, she has to go through arguably the greatest women’s fighter in the history of the sport in Amanda Nunes.
To put that into perspective, Nunes comes into the fight off 11 consecutive wins with seven finishes, eight of those victories in title fights and she has defeated every single woman to ever hold a title at both 135 and 145 pounds in the UFC. Nunes is the first and only woman to hold two titles simultaneously in UFC history and she’s run roughshod over her opponents at featherweight, including a 51-second demolition against Cris Cyborg to claim the title in 2018.
Meanwhile, Anderson is currently 3-2 in her UFC campaign with her two losses coming to fighters — Holly Holm and Felicia Spencer — who Nunes dominated. None of that changes Anderson’s attitude towards the fight because at the end of the day Nunes is still just another human being standing across the cage from her.
“It’s been a long road to get here,” Anderson said at the UFC 259 pre-fight press conference. “Glad that I finally got here. I grew a lot as a person, as a martial artist, getting to this point. But I’m just ready to put on a show. Everyone’s invincible until they’re not.”
