UFC is finding it difficult to find challengers for Amanda Nunes as she is unstoppable right now. She has defeated all the big names in the company. Since she is in featherweight division, the challenge becomes bigger as there are very few ranked fighters.

But somehow, the company has decided to offer a championship opportunity to Megan Anderson for UFC 256 which will happen in December.

She holds a record of 3-2 at featherweight division but all the three victories have come via first-round finishes.

Last time she won in February via a power-packed punch and claimed fight for belt. But at the same time, Felicia Spencer also registered a win and claimed for a championship fight. However, she held a previous win over Anderson and was favoured by the company.

Amanda Nunes sets eyes on to dominate featherweight

Amanda Nunes has expressed her desire equally for both Anderson and ‘Freenom’ but the former has finally got the first crack at the belt. It has also marked the maiden 145LBS defense of her.

Spencer has put up a high performance at UFC 250. Now, it is upto Anderson to achieve what none has in the last half decade .

But every record goes dim when compared to ‘The Lioness‘. She is undefeated in her last 11 matches. UFC has even tried to bring flyweight and Bantamweight fighters opposite to her but she is still dominant and wishes to expand it to even featherweight.

‘The Lioness’ started as a bantamweight for UFC but has defeated even natural featherweight fighters. She defeated Cris Borg in mere seconds to claim the belt.
