Daniel Levi Expert Confident picked Nov 11, 2021 (2 days before fight)

Felicia Spencer

Daniel Levi picks Felicia Spencer, citing her black belt jiu-jitsu and ability to get takedowns and control on the mat. He notes that Leah Letson has been out for three years and lacks the striking power to hurt Spencer, who has a proven chin against Cyborg and Nunes. Levi expects a submission or ground-and-pound TKO, though he acknowledges the price is steep.

Paul is worried that Spencer's wrestling is poor and she has a reluctance to grapple, as seen in the Dumont fight where she attempted zero takedowns. He thinks she should dominate on the ground but might make it harder by striking. He still picks Spencer but with low confidence.

Felicia Spencer vs. Norma Dumont

Round 1
In what could be the final women’s featherweight contest in UFC history depending on how things shake out, former title challenger Spencer (8-2, 2-2 UFC) will try to put the nickname of “The Immortal” Dumont (5-1, 1-1 UFC) to the test. Gloves are not touched in front of referee Chris Tognoni, as the two women look to handle their business. Neither is willing to engage in the early going, with both in the center of the cage but not within striking range. When Dumont reaches out a jab, Spencer rushes at her with a few punches and a side kick. The Canadian blitzes forward to throw strikes, and Dumont rolls with them and tries to counter. Spencer again loads up with a few shots, and Dumont can do little but take them on the nose. The Brazilian lands a single inside leg kick, and the action stalls out again until Dumont slaps with another. Spencer comes up just short with a hook kick, and Dumont is on her bike avoiding the bigger strikes. Spencer walks through a leg kick to try to land, and Dumont is sitting back with counters and inside leg kicks. Spencer switches stances and checks a kick, and she reaches out with a side kick. A follow-up right hand scores effectively for Spencer, and the two women trade hands in a brief but heavy exchange in the middle. An inaccurate high kick from Spencer leads to a wild flurry from both women, and Spencer chains a few strikes into a body lock takedown attempt. Dumont stands tall against the fence, and she breaks the grip thanks to knee up the middle. Spencer misses with a big elbow, but a front kick pierces the guard. Dumont responds in kind, and she sits down on a kick to the knee that lands with an audible slap. Spencer connects in an exchange, scoring an elbow and backing off. Dumont chases after her with a punch, and the round ends.

Round 2
Spencer rushes out of her corner, and when she launches a front kick, Dumont is there with a leg kick and a jab. The Brazilian peppers Spencer with leg kicks as Spencer looks for an angle to come in, with Spencer’s responsive head kick coming up short. The two trade punches, and Spencer slaps her foe in the face with a lead hook kick. Spencer rushes in with a potential takedown, and Dumont shoves her away and waves her finger at her and points to the ground to strike. Spencer walks through a few big punches, and Dumont rocks her with a trio of huge hooks. Ever the tough woman, Spencer walks forward like a Terminator and intercepts a Dumont kick with her own leg kick. The Canadian gets off a straight right hand as Dumont backs off, with Dumont sticking her leg out with a front kick to get Spencer off of her. Spencer sits down on a big punch, but Dumont blasts her back with a stunning overhand right. Spencer aims a kick to the calf, and she barely dodges a head kick that soars at her. Both women come together to trade, and Dumont gets a right hand off to the head and a left to the body. Spencer absorbs the strikes and wades forward to clinch up, but Dumont is not having it, backing off to wing a huge right hand. A hook kick comes up short for Spencer, and she pushes in to grind Dumont into the chain-link fence like a cheese grater. Dumont delivers a solid knee up the middle to break free, and Spencer pays her back with a side kick to the face. A quick head kick finds its home for Spencer, who backs away from a punch to the body. The second frame ends with a tense staring contest.

Round 3
Spencer rushes out with a front kick to the chest, and she digs to the body with a liver kick shortly thereafter. The Canadian just barely gets out of the way from a salvo that flies at her, and Spencer reaches with an axe kick and a side kick to get Dumont to back away. Dumont crashes in when Spencer puts her foot down to take Spencer down, where the Brazilian lands in half guard. Before Dumont can get any strikes off, Spencer recovers her guard and threatens with a possible triangle choke. Dumont ignores it and fights off the potential kimura setup, where she thinks about passing guard but bails on it all to stand back up. Spencer thanks her with a punch in the face, where she follows the strike with a few more. A big kick up the middle leads to a counter from Dumont, and Dumont hits a trip but cannot get top position. As Spencer pushes her against the fencing, she elbows Dumont in the face and knees her in the breadbasket. A few more elbows from Spencer get Dumont’s attention, as Spencer presses her full body weight on the Brazilian. Dumont fights her off and tries to trip her down, but gets reversed and allows Spencer to wind up on top. “The Immortal” locks her down with a tight guard, and Spencer wriggles her arms out to land a couple elbows. Spencer squeezes with a can opener in the waning seconds of the fight, and this close fight comes to an end in this position.

Big Brady Expert Lean picked May 18, 2021 (4 days before fight)

Felicia Spencer

Big Brady picks Spencer based on her superior level of competition (fought Nunes and Cyborg) and grappling advantage, expecting her to get takedowns and work ground-and-pound. He notes Dumont's limited tape and unknown takedown defense, but worries if Dumont stuffs takedowns, Spencer's striking could be exposed. He predicts a decision win.

Felicia Spencer

Cody Saftic picks Felicia Spencer but is hesitant due to the price. He notes that Spencer is tough and durable, with a grappling advantage, but her striking is rudimentary and she struggles to get takedowns against good wrestlers. Dumont is also a grappler, and the fight could be close. Saftic worries that if the fight stays standing, Spencer could lose a decision. He prefers the underdog Dumont at plus money.

Norma Dumont

Daniel Levi picks Norma Dumont, citing concerns about Felicia Spencer being a one-trick pony with submission grappling and poor striking. He notes Dumont's physicality, power, and that she has been training in Las Vegas with John Wood and Joanne Calderwood, even hitting takedowns on college wrestler Evan Smith. He believes Dumont can keep the fight standing and piece Spencer up.

Felicia Spencer

Matt picks Felicia Spencer to win by decision, though a submission wouldn't surprise him. He highlights Spencer's durability, having gone 25 minutes with Amanda Nunes and 50 minutes with Cris Cyborg without being finished. He believes Spencer's top game and grinding style will overwhelm Dumont, whose ground game is unknown. He notes Dumont may have better striking, but Spencer's pressure and takedowns should control the fight. He also mentions Spencer by KO at +900 as a potential prop due to ground-and-pound.

Paul Shaughnessy Expert Lean picked May 19, 2021 (3 days before fight)

Norma Dumont

Paul Shaughnessy leans toward Norma Dumont as a dog, noting that the line has moved from +265 to +150, indicating value. He believes Dumont's grappling is comparable to Spencer's, and that the fight is close to 50-50. He points out that Spencer's only claim to fame is going five rounds with Amanda Nunes, but she lost every minute. He thinks Dumont's short notice and weight issues are concerns, but at plus money, she is worth a play.

"i think it's another case of the line being too big but at the opener you have felicia spencer who should be the rightful favor but it's women's mma man it's 145 pounds as well so the fight's probably going …"

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Jun 3, 2020 (3 days before fight)

Amanda Nunes

Big Brady confidently picks Amanda Nunes by third-round knockout, believing her striking and power will overwhelm Spencer. He notes Spencer's striking is poor and she is overrated for lasting with Cyborg. He expects Nunes to finish early, though he acknowledges Spencer's toughness and top game could be a concern if it goes late. He sees no reason to pick against the GOAT.

Amanda Nunes

Daniel sees a complete mismatch on the feet, with Nunes' striking far superior. He notes that people overlook Nunes' black belt, but she submitted Miesha Tate and has serious grappling credentials. He predicts a first-round knockout, comparing it to Nunes vs Rousey, and dismisses Spencer's path to victory via grappling because Nunes is also a black belt.

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Confident picked Jun 4, 2020 (2 days before fight)

Amanda Nunes

Amanda Nunes is the women's GOAT with power and a black belt in jiu-jitsu. Felicia Spencer is tough and has a grappling-heavy approach, but Nunes should be able to stuff takedowns and win on the feet. However, Spencer's durability and clinch game could make it a long fight. The over 1.5 rounds is a better bet than Nunes straight at -600.

Amanda Nunes

The MMA Guru picks Amanda Nunes over Felicia Spencer. He dismisses Spencer's wins as coming against weak competition in a shallow women's featherweight division. He believes Nunes has too much power and skill on the feet, and that Spencer's only chance is to push Nunes against the cage, which he doubts she can do. He expects Nunes to dominate and win.

Big Brady Expert Confident picked Mar 3, 2021 (3 days before fight)

Amanda Nunes

Big Brady picks Amanda Nunes confidently, citing her massive advantages in striking volume, takedown ability, and competition level. He notes Anderson's poor striking defense (38%) and takedown defense (53%). He predicts a first-round submission, but passes on betting the moneyline due to the high price.

Half the Battle

MMA Lock of the Night Expert Lock picked Mar 4, 2021 (2 days before fight)

Amanda Nunes

Nunes is the greatest female fighter ever and should dominate everywhere. Anderson's only chance is a lucky KO, but Nunes's takedowns and ground game are too much. The host predicts a submission in the second round and recommends the under 2.5 rounds.

under 2.5 rounds minus 220, fight does not start round three minus 175, round two nunes plus 300

"i think that the lock of the night play for ufc 259 would easily be the under two and a half in this fight"

Megan Anderson vs. Norma Dumont Viana

Round 1
In the first of two significant women’s featherweight matchups, former Invicta FC champ Anderson (10-4, 2-2 UFC) takes on undefeated newcomer Dumont Viana (4-0, 0-0 UFC). The winner of this bout or the victor of the other bout in this division later may get a crack at Amanda Nunes in May, and referee Kevin MacDonald will make this contest official. There is no glove touch, and Dumont opens up with a low kick that is well shy of the mark. They come together, and Anderson cracks her with an elbow. Backing off, Dumont loads up on a right, and misses the mark. Dumont crashes in and clinches up with her, while she lands a heavy knee and nearly hits a trip. The Brazilian lands another solid few knees to each thigh, brings an elbow over the top while Anderson tries to push her face away. Dumont is hanging on tight, and nearly lands another trip, but the long legs of the Aussie keep her upright. Anderson spins her around and fires a knee up the middle, but Dumont eats it like a sandwich and stays glued to her adversary. Dumont brings up a few knees to the torso, and drops down low for a single that she lands. Anderson reverses the position, so Dumont gets out of the bad spot and pushes Anderson back against the cage. The Aussie pushes free, and Dumont whiffs on a low kick while Anderson comes up top with a jab.
Out of nowhere, Anderson unloads a ferocious right hand that lands right on the button and plants Dumont on her posterior. The Brazilian’s eyes roll around, and any follow-up is unnecessary as MacDonald races in to save the doomed fighter.
With that one-hitter quitter, has Anderson done enough to win a title shot? That remains to be seen, but she persevered after being put in a tough spot to deliver a devastating knockout and remove Dumont from the ranks of the unbeaten.
