Megan Anderson Releases Statement Following Loss to Amanda Nunes at UFC 259

Megan Anderson was overmatched from the outset against Amanda Nunes in the UFC 259 co-headliner.

The Aussie was rocked by a pair of hard overhand rights early and never recovered. After failing on a takedown attempt, Anderson absorbed a barrage of punches and hammerfists before Nunes transitioned to a reverse triangle armbar to elicit a tapout 2:03 into Round 1.

Anderson landed just two significant strikes in the featherweight championship bout before meeting her demise. The former Invicta FC title holder released a brief statement on Twitter following her defeat.
