UFC 259 took place March 6th from UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. In women's action Amanda Nunes retained her featherweight title by making quick work of Megan Anderson. Nunes hurt her very quickly on the feet. As Anderson was having balance issues, Nunes took her down and got the armbar for the tap. Earlier Amanda Lemos made quick work of Livinha Souza. Lemos was teeing off on Souza, seeming to hurt her with every punch. She dropped her midway through the round and then did so again and got the stoppage.
