Nerves are always present for fighters. Some fighters will speak openly about how they downplay nerves, others welcome the nervous energy as a part of their prefight emotions, and some say their preparation is so thorough that they have no reason to be nervous.
Before Invicta 33 a couple of weeks ago, Megan Anderson was nervous.
Not for a fight, of course, as she is set to take on Cat Zingano at UFC 232, but because she was filling in as the in-cage reporter that night.
“I was weirdly more nervous for that than actually fighting,” Anderson said.
