When he stepped into the octagon last Saturday (6), Anderson was fighting the last fight of his contract with the UFC. Faced with the greatest fighter of all time, the Australian didn't have time to put her strategy into play and ended up succumbing to the 'Lionea' in less than three minutes of confrontation, giving up with an armbar.

Former Invicta FC champion, Megan stepped into the octagon as the event's big underdog. The athlete, however, in the week leading up to the confrontation, showed confidence that she could shock the world and end the Brazilian's reign.

In the fight, however, Anderson ended up becoming 'one more'. Faced with a committed Amanda, the Australian joined Nunes' gallery of victims, who scored her 12th consecutive triumph.

Outside of Ultimate, it is not yet known where Megan, 31, will play in the coming seasons. Today, the fighter has 16 commitments as a professional in MMA, with 11 triumphs and five setbacks.
