UFC 259 results: Amanda Nunes mauls Megan Anderson, finishes with armbar in first round

Amanda Nunes needed just over two minutes to dismantle the latest opponent attempting to wrestle one of two UFC titles away from her

Taking on former Invicta FC champion Megan Anderson in the UFC 259 co-main event, Nunes was ferocious with her striking in the opening exchanges before eventually taking the fight to the ground where it became an even bigger mismatch. Nunes was chipping away with strikes before eventually transitioning to an armbar that bent Anderson’s elbow in the wrong direction, which forced the Australian featherweight to tap out.

The stoppage came at 2:03 into the first round.
