The UFC already has a stacked schedule for the remainder of the year. In December, things will get even better as it has been reported Amanda Nunes and Darren Till will both return.<\/p>\n

ESPN’s Brett Okamoto<\/a> reported that Amanda Nunes will remain at featherweight to defend her belt against Megan Anderson at UFC 256 on December 12. Additionally, in the main event of a December 5 fight card, Darren Till will return against Jack Hermansson, pending medical clearance on Till’s knee.<\/p>\n

Amanda Nunes is looking for her second consecutive title defense at featherweight. The Brazilian is coming off a very dominant decision win over Felicia Spencer<\/a> in the main event of UFC 250. It was her first featherweight title defense after winning the belt by first-round knockout over Cris Cyborg.<\/p>\n

Nunes is currently on an 11-fight winning streak and has beaten the likes of Ronda Rousey, Valentina Shevchenko, Holly Holm, and Cyborg. She did hint at retirement<\/a> following her last win but the good news is she will continue fighting.<\/p>\n

Megan Anderson, meanwhile, is the clear-cut number one contender at featherweight. The Aussie is on a two-fight winning streak and 3-2 in the UFC with her biggest win coming over Cat Zingano. Her losses come to Holly Holm by decision and a first-round submission to Felicia Spencer.<\/p>\n

In the main event of the December 5 show, Till will be looking to get back into the win column. The Englishman is coming off a loss to Robert Whittaker on Fight Island. He won his middleweight debut against Kelvin Gastelum.<\/p>\n

Jack Hermansson, meanwhile, returned to the win column on Fight Island with a first-round submission over Gastelum. Before that, he suffered a knockout loss to Jared Cannonier.<\/p>\n

It is likely the winner of Till-Hermansson would get the next title after the Cannonier-Whittaker winner.<\/p>\n

Who do you think wins these fights?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
