On Saturday, March 6, Amanda Nunes looks to make her second defense of her UFC women’s featherweight title. ‘The Lioness’, who also holds the women’s bantamweight crown, meets Megan Anderson in that contest. The bout serves as the co-main event of the UFC 259 pay-per-view card.
Nunes captured the 145-pound title in December 2018 with a 51-second knockout of Cris Cyborg. She then defended the title in June, when she defeated Felicia Spencer via unanimous decision. The victory over Spencer was Nunes’ eighth straight win in a UFC title fight. Nunes is currently riding an 11-fight winning streak.
