Amanda Nunes added another victory to her ever-growing resume with a first-round submission win over Megan Anderson in the co-main event of UFC 259 from the Apex facility in Las Vegas.
Nunes wasted no time in showing her superior skill on the feet, which ultimately gave way to her grappling to finish out the rest of the fight.
Nunes overwhelmed Anderson early and often. She tagged her with brutal right hands and combinations before ultimately looking for the submission against a downed Anderson.
She was unable to close out her first attempt at a choke but was able to seamlessly transition to an armbar-triangle to draw the tap.
First round submission. Light work.#UFC259
