The UFC and Bellator are back in full swing, and they both released some great fight announcements this past week. The UFC got the ball rolling last week, and both promotions have signed some other compelling fights in recent days.
The biggest announcement is that Amanda Nunes will be defending her featherweight title in December against Megan Anderson. If and when Nunes wins that fight, they might as well retire the title, as there is nobody left deserving of a title shot at 145.

We’ll have those names, as well as they, become available.
