Amanda Nunes to defend featherweight title against Megan Anderson at UFC 256

Amanda Nunes has her next title defense lined up.

The two-division champion defends her 145-pound belt next against Megan Anderson on Dec. 12 at UFC 256. MMA Fighting confirmed the bout with sources following a report by ESPN. The location will be announced at a later date.

The fight marks the second defense of featherweight champion Nunes (20-4), who also holds the UFC’s bantamweight championship. She successfully defended the featherweight title against Felicia Spencer at UFC 250 in June, winning a commanding unanimous decision to become the first fighter to successfully defend UFC titles in two separate divisions.
