UFC women’s featherweight contender Megan Anderson has issued a dignified response to online trolls who call her unattractive.<\/p>\n

Anderson has been part of the Ultimate Fighting Championship for a few years now and in that time, she’s been able to put together a 3-2 record with the promotion. After overcoming defeats to Felicia Spencer and Holly Holm, she has since registered impressive wins over Zarah Fairn Dos Santos and Norma Dumont Viana.<\/p>\n

Now, with a Women’s Featherweight Championship shot against Amanda Nunes on the horizon, the Australian star has made it crystal clear that she doesn’t really care what insults are thrown at her anymore.<\/p>\n

\n

Every single day I wake up to people tagging me in comments about how unattractive they think I am.<\/p>\n

If that’s all got to do during your day then you gotta get a life… also if I see it you’ll be blocked.<\/p>\n

Have a nice day 😄<\/p>\n

\u2014 Megan Anderson (@MeganA_mma) August 24, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Every single day I wake up to people tagging me in comments about how unattractive they think I am,” Anderson wrote. “If that’s all got to do during your day then you gotta get a life… also if I see it you’ll be blocked. Have a nice day”.<\/p>\n

This new attitude is seemingly exactly what she needs both in her career and day-to-day life, and back in February, Anderson reiterated the fact<\/a> that she isn’t willing to give these criticisms the time of day.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the last, I would say, three to six months, I just hit a different kind of vibe,\u201d Anderson told BJPENN.com.<\/a> \u201cI just don\u2019t give a s**t, anymore. I really don\u2019t. I have this great sense of who I am and the type of person that I am, the positivity that I want to surround myself with. I really kind of felt that my patience, hard work and dedication is going to pay off. Big things are still to come and I\u2019m ready for when it happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really is [a freeing feeling],\u201d Anderson explained. \u201cThe amount of s**t and s**t talking people have given me, a lot of hate, it used to get to me all the time. Man, I just laugh about s**t now. If anything, I just feel sorry for those people now. I\u2019m doing my thing, I\u2019m getting mine, making sure I get paid, making sure I\u2019m getting what I\u2019m worth. I\u2019m just doing me. I just feel sorry for those people because not one second of my day goes by that things negatively towards somebody else.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea of going online and saying some s**t, it says more about them than me. It really is freeing to get to this point. It just takes a lot to get there, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
