3. Who is next for Amanda Nunes?
[autotag]Felicia Spencer[/autotag] (8-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) and [autotag]Megan Anderson[/autotag] (10-4 MMA, 3-2 UFC) did exactly what they needed to do in the four-person audition of sorts to see who will be next to challenge Amanda Nunes, who is keen to defend her women’s featherweight title.
Spencer ground-and-pounded Zarah Fairn into a first-round TKO, while Anderson landed a knockout bomb on Norma Dumont in the opening frame of their matchup. So who will get the shot? One would have to imagine it would be Spencer, who has a submission win over Anderson on her record just 10 months ago. Moreover, Spencer is the flag bearer for the Canadian market in the UFC at this point, and it would be important for the country to have another person fighting for a title (not that I’m bias, or anything).
The reality, however, is that the UFC will likely approach both athletes about the matchup with Nunes. The final verdict might simply come down to negotiations.
