Megan Anderson Pumped to Make Octagon Debut Against Big Name Like Holly Holm

Former Invicta Fighting Championships featherweight champion Megan Anderson is set to make her Ultimate Fighting Championship debut against Holly Holm at UFC 225. The bout will take place at featherweight inside the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, on June 9. This will be the first non-title women’s featherweight bout in UFC history, with the winner most likely to get a shot at the champion, Cristiane Justino.

The 28-year-old Australian comes into the UFC with a lot of hype surrounding her. Anderson is a physically intimating featherweight who many believe can match Cyborg, who is used to bullying her opponents inside the Octagon.
