Megan Anderson: Cyborg's Loss is Good For The Featherweight Division

Megan Anderson believes Amanda Nunes’ clinical KO victory over Cristiane Justino -- better known as “Cris Cyborg” -- is a positive sign for the future of the 145-pound division.

The 28-year-old Australian, who is fresh off a controversial TKO victory over Cat Zingano at UFC 232, believes that the featherweight division has had trouble attracting quality fighters due to the dominance of “Cyborg.”

The former Invicta FC featherweight champion is hopeful now after Cyborg’s loss that fewer fighters drop down to the bantamweight division and instead try their hand in the featherweight division to improve on the talent already on show there.
