Anderson said this to bjpenn.com about her upcoming fight against Spencer, “She’s got some good skills that she brings to the table. She’s got a really good skill set that she brings and I’ve been in her position before, debuting in the UFC, wanting to show everyone what she’s capable of. I’ve been in her position. I know she’s going to come hard. She’s going to come with pressure and I’m glad because she’s not going to be hard to find.”

Spencer said this to cagesidepress.com about her upcoming UFC debut, “Nothing else was discussed. I kind of was surprised, because when I was signed, I was told there were a handful of other featherweights being signed. So I sort of assumed I would be fighting the other entry featherweights. At the same time, I knew Megan and I would cross paths eventually. Why not now? It worked out great. I’ve been looking for the fight for a while.”

UFC Predictions
Anderson has very little experience in the UFC while Spencer is making her promotional debut this Saturday. Even though the odds have Anderson favored, I think that she could easily lose this fight. It is always worth noting the odds on a newcomer and Spencer is at least given a shot with odds at less than 2-1. Spencer has the skill to make this fight interesting and I give her at least a 50-50 chance to win this fight and we are getting plus money. I will take the underdog Spencer to get the win.
