A biography for Megan Andersonhasn’t been written yet.
“I'm very hard on myself as a critic, so win or lose I'm always looking to improve.”
“We get in the cage and we fight and we're supposed to be like superhero people.”
“It's something that, as a fighter, the UFC is the top organization. For me to be able to get there, it's definitely a dream and I'm going to do everything that I possibly can to get there.”
“I'm a giant and it doesn't help that I'm covered in tattoos. So people can find me intimidating but I'm not like that at all - I'm very easygoing.”
“If I wasn't fighting, I wish I could be working with troubled teens, the ones that are in the awkward phase with their bodies changing.”
“Part of me doesn't want people to think I am a weak person because I don't consider myself a weak person. But there can be a strength in vulnerability and in accepting it. If I can help people by telling my story it doesn't cost me anything.”
“I think you're as dangerous as you want to be.”
“I really don't consider Germaine a natural featherweight and she knew she was going to have to give up a lot of size going up against legitimate featherweights. I think she didn't want to come up against someone who's going to have a lot of size advantage over her.”
“I take to heart trolls online and what they say about me. I was letting it eat at me and my lack of confidence in myself just from my own personal issues outside of fighting.”
“I definitely don't to be one of those people who get to the end of fighting and start wondering what I'm going to do now.”
“My job is to turn up, show up, knockout, win.”
“In any fight, someone always brings forward some kind of danger factor and it's just how you deal with that.”
“It just got to a point where I didn't want to fight anymore.”
“I kind of see myself like a Brendan Schaub, coming from MMA. He's set himself up really well as an analyst. I feel it's something that people will be interested in because there aren't a lot of female analysts like that who have had that experience. I think I can definitely find the niche there that will work well for me.”
“I just focus on me and hope to represent myself and my country as best as possible and if I am able to inspire people in any way then that's awesome.”
“I know other fighters that obsess over watching footage or they watch all of their opponent's interviews and stuff like that. That's just not me, I don't really care.”
“I'm not a traditional boxer or Muay Thai fighter. I stance switch. I set traps. I constantly change my timing and am offbeat on my punches.”
“Holly, she uses a lot of movement. She doesn't necessarily engage a lot and I feel that's what's not tended to go her way in the split decisions.”
“It's no longer about the length of time you've had in the sport. It's about hunger and dedication.”
“I want to be in the UFC and I want to fight.”
