Nunes will once again defend her featherweight gold and will look to extend the record-breaking winning streak with win over Anderson. Megan is tough, strong, and has solid power in her hands. She lost her UFC debut against Holly Holm, however, she bounced back to pick up a win over former Champion Cat Zingano. Anderson has a solid submission game and fierce KO power. It will be an interesting match-up. Anderson will be a tough challenge for Nunes, considering her ability both with the feet and on the ground.
