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.
