Megan Anderson no longer under UFC contract, officials deny claim that women’s 145 division is gone

Megan Anderson is longer a UFC fighter following her loss to Amanda Nunes this past weekend at UFC 259.

UFC officials told MMA Fighting on Tuesday that Anderson had fought out of her contract following the fight with Nunes.

Speaking on a Twitch stream, Anderson confirmed her promotional exit and announced the UFC’s plans to scrap the featherweight division. It was revealed shortly after that the UFC labelled Anderson’s claims as “not true” and women’s featherweight will remain as a weight class in the promotion.

Anderson (11-5) signed for the UFC in 2017 and was booked to face Cris Cyborg for the featherweight title in her debut.
