Light Heavyweight Title Bout

With three title fights going down at UFC 259, we dove into what is ahead for each division going forward.

Outlook: “The Lioness” added to her already-untouchable resume with another rather flawless performance, submitting Megan Anderson inside the first round and completing the second defense of her featherweight title. It’s getting into odd territory for Nunes, who has cleaned out the better part of two divisions in dominant fashion, especially of late.

The biggest challenge, apparently, to Nunes’ featherweight reign is lack of depth in the division. The only conceivable challenger appears to be Danyelle Wolf, who, despite having an championship pedigree in amateur boxing, made her professional MMA debut on the Contender Series.
