UFC 259: Amanda Nunes makes light work of Megan Anderson, and warns ‘no one’s going to stop me’
- Nunes gets quick submission of Australian challenger in first round of UFC 259 co-main event
- ‘I’m going to retire undefeated with the two belts at home,’ says the Brazilian
Amanda Nunes made light work of Megan Anderson in their featherweight title tilt at UFC 259 in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
The Brazilian, on a 12-fight tear, has all but wiped out the 145-pound division with her latest impressive win against an outclassed Anderson.
Nunes dominated from the start and the Australian challenger looked stunned as the 32-year-old double champ swarmed her.
Anderson was shaken from the first exchange in the middle of the Octagon and never regained her composure. When Nunes took her to the ground, it was only a matter of time. Anderson tapped as Nunes locked in an arm bar after just 2:03 of the opening round.
“I’m here, it’s not my fault,” she told Joe Rogan, when asked how she makes it look so easy. “I know I have a lot of girls out there who want this opportunity, so sure we’re gonna have the next day.
