Megan Anderson
Wants to fight: [autotag]Amanda Nunes[/autotag]
The callout: “I’m the only one that’s on a win streak. I feel like I put my name on the list, particularly with such a great knockout. … If I do get the title shot, I’m game as (expletive). If not, I’m still going to be here and keep racking up the wins until I do get a title shot.”
The reality: [autotag]Megan Anderson[/autotag] has as strong a claim for a title shot as anyone at 145 pounds, but she finds herself standing side-by-side with fellow UFC Norfolk winner Felicia Spencer as the two top contenders to face Nunes next. Her ability to finish fights in the standup department would make a clash with Nunes an exciting style matchup, but Nunes has faced plenty of strikers before and prevailed. Will that fact go against Anderson when the matchmakers decide who gets the next shot?
