If this is truly it for the UFC women’s featherweight division, there is no question whose house it was.
On March 9, in the co-main event of UFC 259, two-division champ Amanda Nunes overwhelmed Megan Anderson, dropping her with punches, then following her to the ground and locking up a beautiful reverse triangle armbar. The challenger was forced to ask out of the fight after barely two minutes, giving the “Lioness” a record-tying second defense of the 145-pound title.
In the aftermath, Anderson claimed that the Ultimate Fighting Championship planned to close down the women’s featherweight division.
