Australian featherweight Megan Anderson has had a huge year, with three stoppage victories inside the Invicta FC cage. Fans have been campaigning for a fight between Anderson and current number 1 featherweight in the world, Cris ‘Cyborg’ for a long time. However, Anderson has no respect for Cris.

Anderson commented on Cyborg’s weight cutting issues, during a fan Q&A on Sherdog “She does have a lot of muscle so it will make it (cutting weight) harder, but that’s her own fault because she wants to have such an advantage strength wise over her opponent so she tries to cut so much which is unhealthy. Also all those years of PED use will never leave her. It changes your body and the advantages she got from using them will always stay with her. She might test clean, but she will never 100% be the person physically that she was before she started using so she’s always going to have an advantage.”

She explains how she would beat ‘Cyborg’ when the pair are to face off “I think I’d be using movement and angles to pick her apart and tire her out. She gasses if you take her out of the first round. She rushes in and headhunts so it’ll be easy to counter her and cut the angle.”

Anderson is set to face Charmaine Tweet in the main event of Invicta FC 21 which takes place on January 14, 2017 in a non-title match. Cris ‘Cyborg is currently the featherweight champion of Invicta FC, however she has not fought for the promotion in almost a year. Anderson believes she should be stripped of her title “I do think that we should be fighting for the (Invicta) belt. We all know Cris is not coming back to Invicta and she’s also made that perfectly clear so this should be a title fight.”

Recently the UFC have confirmed they will be adding a featherweight division. With a win against Tweet, Anderson could set herself up for a potential title fight against ‘Cyborg’ for the UFC. She has the skills, marketable image and isn’t afraid to speak out, everything which the UFC loves in their top stars.
