Amanda Nunes has her next title defense lined up.

The two-division champion then defends her 145-pound belt against Megan Anderson on December 12 at UFC 256. MMA Fighting has confirmed the fight with sources following a report from ESPN. The location will be announced at a later date.

The fight marks the second defense for featherweight champion Nunes (20-4), who also holds the UFC bantamweight championship. She successfully defended the featherweight title against Felicia Spencer at UFC 250 in June, winning a unanimous and dominant decision to become the first fighter to successfully defend UFC titles in two separate divisions.

Nunes has also successfully defended his bantamweight title five times in a row. She is currently on an 11-game winning streak since September 2014.

Former Invicta FC champion Anderson (11-4) has won three of her last four fights to win her chance at Nunes. The Australian fighter scored back-to-back first-round finishes from Norma Dumont and Zarah Fairn.
