WMMA GOAT Amanda Nunes is undefeated since joining ATT in 2014, has won eight straight title fights in two divisions, half in Round 1. She defends her featherweight title vs. Megan Anderson at UFC 259, and during a recent appearance on the Jim Rome Show, UFC president Dana White said she is better than ever.
She’s one of my all-time favorites, said White, as transcribed by Alexander K. Lee for MMA Fighting. She doesn’t care who she’s fighting, she’ll fight anybody. One of the sweetest people that you’ll ever meet, very, very easy to deal with, but once she steps inside the octagon, she’s an absolute savage.
What’s scary about her right now is Dan Lambert, the guy that runs her team, is saying he doesn’t understand why but she looks better than she’s ever looked in this camp, and she was dropping guys in camp. So this is gonna be interesting..
I think she’s the greatest female fighter of all time. Personally, I love her. She’s a great human being. She’s the only one that’s held on to two titles and consistently defended both titles.
She’s defending her 145-pound title against Megan Anderson, who nine of her 11 wins have come by way of finish, got six knockouts, three submissions. You’ll have some girls that are very talented, very technical, but don’t have that power to knock out another woman. Both of these women have unbelievable power and they can both knock each other out, which makes this fight a very, very awesome fight.
White is a promoter, so his job is to sell fights. However, Anderson is a +700 underdog. That said, the reason you have a fight is because you don’t know who is going to win. If you know, you can make a lot of money. UG, who do you think wins the UFC 259, when, and how?
