Megan Anderson (9-3 MMA) for the first time since December’s UFC 232 event in Los Angeles, where she scored a bizarre TKO victory over Cat Zingano.

Anderson has gone 1-1 under the UFC banner, suffering a decision loss to Holly Holm in her promotional debut.

Meanwhile, Felicia Spencer (6-0 MMA) will make her octagon debut at tonight’s UFC Rochester event. Spencer most recently competed this past November at Invicta FC 32, where she scored a fourth round submission victory over Pam Sorenson – capturing the promotions vacant featherweight title in the process.

Megan Anderson gets free of one Spencer’s hooks. She tries to buck Felicia off but Spencer is wise to it. More big punches from Felicia Spencer here. She locks in a rear-naked choke and this one is all over. Wow! First round submission finish over Megan Anderson.
