‘Very Few Women Have the Ability to Knockout Other Women’- Dana White Previews Amanda Nunes vs Megan Anderson at UFC 259

Defending a belt as a champion in the UFC is extremely hard, as there is a constant threat from up-and-coming fighters who are trying to make a name for themselves. However, if you’re Amanda Nunes, you not only have to worry about contenders at bantamweight but also featherweight as well.

‘The Lioness’ has been impressively defending belts in two divisions for some time now. This weekend, however, might be one of the toughest challenges she has taken on so far.

In Megan Anderson, she faces a true featherweight with a considerable reach and height advantage over her and legitimate one-punch knockout power. Hence, it will be interesting to see how Nunes fares this weekend against Anderson.

In a recent interview, Brett Okamoto asked Dana White for his thoughts on the co-main event at UFC 259. 

He said, “Now, if you watch a lot of women’s fights, there are women that are very technical, very fast-paced, a lot of great fights that we have had. Very few women have the ability to knock out other women. Knock them out cold, both of these women do in this fight.

When faced against another excellent striker in De Randamie, ‘The Lioness’ resorted to her wrestling and grappling skills to secure a win. Therefore, this weekend might see ‘The Lioness’ rely on her wrestling and grappling skills as that is not an area Anderson is strong in. 

Moreover, in standing and trading with someone like Anderson, there is always a risk of getting caught and the fight can be over in the blink of an eye
