Megan Anderson Out of Women’s Featherweight Title Fight at UFC 214

Megan Anderson will not be fighting for the UFC women’s featherweight championship after all. The UFC announced on Tuesday night that Anderson has pulled out, citing personal reasons, and that Tonya Evinger willf ace Cristian “Cyborg” Justino instead.

“I have been wanting this fight for a long time and finally got the opportunity to showcase my skills on the big stage but unfortunately due to some pressing personal reasons that are out of my control, it is not to be right now,” Anderson said. “I am no stranger to struggle and this is the biggest struggle I have faced yet, but I like always do, I will come back stronger and better than before and I will be coming straight for Cris, the Title and becoming the face of the UFC 145lb division. I am determined and resolved to make history and shock the world. I’m coming for whoever has that belt.”

The fight is for the title that Germaine de Randamie was stripped of after she refused to defend her title against Justino. UFC 214 takes place on July 29th from Anaheim, California.
