To have more insights, please read our preview below.

Amanda Nunes

Nunes, 32, is expecting the birth of her first child in September with partner and UFC strawweight Nina Ansaroff. After defending her featherweight title against Felicia Spencer in June, Nunes hinted at a potential break, but has ultimately decided to remain active. December has been a good month for her historically. Since 2016, she has defeated Ronda Rousey,  Cris „Cyborg“ Justino and Germaine De Randamie in the final month of the calendar year.This will be the second consecutive featherweight championship and second defense of the title overall. She has also defended the bantamweight title five times. She is very close to becoming the best female fighter of all time. However, no opponent should be underestimated.

Megan Anderson

Anderson, 30, is coming off a first-round knockout of Norma Dumont in February. She is 3-2 overall in the UFC, but all three of her wins have come via first-round stoppage. Her losses have come against Spencer and Holly Holm. It is interesting to see how UFC throws opponents for Amanda who hasn‘t proven anything yet. Hard to imagine how Megan could resist to Amanda’s powerful strikes and amazing grappling skills. Anderson is definitely less skilled fighter and less experienced, however, she could surprise everyone including Amanda, by showing something new. But if the Champion will decide not to waste time and start attacking immediately, this will be a first round KO, because Megan is much slower, doesn‘t have a strong chin and never was known for great stamina.
