By The Numbers: Amanda Nunes vs. Megan Anderson

Amanda Nunes shies away from no challenge.

The American Top Team ace will put her undisputed Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight title on the line against Megan Anderson in the UFC 259 co-headliner on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Nunes has compiled a 13-1 record since she joined the promotion seven-plus years ago. She last fought at UFC 250, where she laid claim to a five-round unanimous decision over Felicia Spencer on June 6. Anderson, meanwhile, enters the cage on the strength of back-to-back victories. She last appeared at UFC Fight Night 169 on Feb. 29, 2020, when she knocked out Norma Dumont in the first round of their brief encounter.
