UFC Fight Night 169 served as sort of a mini women's featherweight tournament to see who would be next in line to fight Amanda Nunes for the title. Well, Megan Anderson took care of business, scoring a first round knock out win over Brazil’s Norma Dumont.
Dumont, who was making her UFC debut against Anderson, looked strong to start the fight. She locked up Anderson against the fence and did successfully take her to the canvas, but with one punch, Anderson ended it all.
Upon rising to her feet, Anderson connected with a powerful right hand that sent Dumont crumbling to the mat. Anderson went in for the follow-up pounding but thankfully referee Kevin MacDonald got in there quickly and halted the fight before any additional damage could be inflicted.
WIth her impressive win, Anderson moved to 11-4. Had Felicia Spencer also not won her match against Zarah Fairn later in the evening, Anderson would likely be next in line to challenge Amanda Nunes for the featherweight belt. As it stands now, Spencer will likely get first dibs having already beat Anderson in May of last year.
Who do you want to see Amanda Nunes face next: Megan Anderson or Felicia Spencer?
