Tonya Evinger Replaces Megan Anderson, Meets ‘Cyborg’ for FW Title at UFC 214

Megan Anderson has been forced to withdraw from her featherweight championship bout against Cristiane Justino at UFC 214 due to “personal issues,” the promotion announced Tuesday evening.

As a result, Invicta FC bantamweight queen Tonya Evinger will step in and face “Cyborg” on July 29 in Anaheim. UFC 214 takes place at the Honda Center and is headlined by a light heavyweight championship rematch between Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones.

Evinger is unbeaten in her last 11 outings, eight have which have come inside the Invicta FC cage.
