Megan Anderson issues statement following submission loss to Felicia Spencer at UFC Rochester

Former Invicta featherweight champions Megan Anderson and Felicia Spencer squared off on the main card of Saturday’s UFC event in Rochester, New York.

The fight served as Spencer’s promotional debut and marked Anderson’s third octagon appearance.

Felicia Spencer was able to get her fight with Megan Anderson to the canvas in the opening seconds of the fight. From there, the most recent Invicta featherweight champion, Spencer, was able to lock in a rear-naked choke which forced her Australian opponent to tapout.

With the loss, Megan Anderson falls to 1-2 in the UFC, with her lone victory coming over Cat Zingano at UFC 232.

Earlier this evening, Anderson took to Instagram where she issued the following classy statement on her loss to Felicia Spencer at UFC Rochester.
