Amanda Nunes on UFC potentially ending women’s 145 division: ‘I’m okay with it’

The UFC’s female bantamweight and featherweight champion is ready to get back to business for her first outing of 2021. Paired up against Megan Anderson to defend the 145-pound title at UFC 259, Amanda Nunes is not taking her competition lightly and expects a difficult match on Saturday night.

In an intervew with Combate, Nunes sang Anderson’s praises and called the former Invicta FC champion a dangerous opponent. In fact, Amanda said Megan’s superior reach and height advantage are weapons the Australian knows how to use very well and should not be underestimated in the cage.
