Alyse Anderson Recounts Health Scare That Brought Her To Brink Of Retirement

Alyse Anderson has an atomweight showdown with Victoria Souza set for ONE Championship’s U.S. return on Friday, September 6, for ONE 168: Denver. A win could catapult her back into the title scene. However, that is secondary to the feeling of returning to action after a health scare last year.

Last summer, Anderson was enjoying life in Florida with her father when a sudden pain rippled through her body. She would go to the hospital, in so much pain she did not realize where she was. Doctors would discover a ruptured cyst that required surgery to fix.
