After arriving in the UFC with high hopes of success, Megan Anderson has had to wait patiently for her shot at the UFC women’s featherweight title. Former Invicta FC featherweight champion Anderson (10-4 MMA, 3-2 UFC) has suffered a couple of setbacks along the way, but has battled her way into title contention, and will challenge two-division champion Amanda Nunes for the women’s 145-pound title in the co-main event of UFC 259 . It’s the first shot Anderson has had at a title since capturing Invicta FC gold back in 2017, and the Australian will step into the octagon on Saturday night looking to do something no other fighter has managed – defeat Nunes (20-4 MMA, 13-1 UFC) in a title fight. UFC 259 takes place Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+ . Ahead of Anderson’s title tilt against Nunes, let’s look back at four key bouts that have helped define her career to date.
