Megan Anderson believes a shot at Amanda Nunes and the UFC women’s featherweight title will come eventually. That’s why she is focused solely on this Saturday when she faces an unbeaten fighter that is hoping to make a big statement.<\/p>\n
Anderson will face Norma Dumont this Saturday at UFC on ESPN+ 27. The event takes place at the Chartway Arena in Norfolk, Va. and will be headlined by a fight for the vacant flyweight title between Joseph Benavidez and Deiveson Figueiredo.<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old Anderson returned to the win column after picking up her first submission win in nearly five years against Zarah Fairn at UFC 243<\/a> in October. Dumont will make her UFC debut after winning her first four pro fights in her home country of Brazil.<\/p>\n At the end of the day, the other name on the contract didn’t matter all that much too Anderson.<\/p>\n “We didn’t know much about her,” Anderson told BJPENN.com<\/a>. “I think it was at UFC Lincoln last year, I was there as a guest fighter and Mick [Maynard] had mentioned a couple of names of fighters that he had signed and that was one of them. I knew the name but I didn’t know much about her. The name didn’t matter much to us. We’re willing to fight anyone, put our head down and get to work.”<\/p>\n
