Megan
Anderson was overmatched from the outset against Amanda
Nunes in the UFC 259
co-headliner.
The Aussie was rocked by a pair of hard overhand rights early and
never recovered. After failing on a takedown attempt, Anderson
absorbed a barrage of punches and hammerfists before Nunes
transitioned to a reverse triangle armbar to elicit a tapout 2:03
into Round 1.
Anderson landed just two significant strikes in the featherweight
championship bout before meeting her demise. The former Invicta FC
title holder released a brief statement on Twitter following her
defeat.
“This game has the highest of highs and the lowest of lows,”
Anderson wrote on Twitter. “This was the one we wanted to win but
it’s the fight game. We’ll be back.”

Anderson completed her UFC contract on Saturday, and it’s unclear
what’s next for the Glory MMA & Fitness representative. A four-bout
knockout streak in Invicta established Anderson as a formidable
145-pound talent, but she experienced just mixed results in the Las
Vegas-based promotion, compiling a 3-3 mark that included losses to
Nunes, Felicia
Spencer and Holly
Holm.
