Amanda will be defending her featherweight belt for the second time in March. She has looked unstoppable thus far, and there is reason to believe that she will extend her lengthy win streak.
However, it will not be easy given that she will be facing a much bigger fighter in Anderson who will have a significant height and reach advantage over her and perhaps will absorb her shots a lot better. ‘The Lioness’ has not faltered thus far, and it will be interesting to see how she handles Anderson.
