Throughout UFC on ESPN+ 10 fight week, Felicia Spencer didn’t seem fazed by her surroundings.
It was going to be her UFC debut, but Spencer (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) was calm and collected heading into her main-card bout with fellow former Invicta FC featherweight champion Megan Anderson.
And Saturday night, Spencer’s cool and collected attitude translated nicely to the cage. Spencer put on a ground clinic on how to defeat a larger foe and earned the victory over Anderson (9-4 MMA, 1-2 UFC) with a rear-naked choke. The time of the stoppage was 3:24 of the opening round.
“I’ve been doing this my whole life, that’s just what I do,” Spencer said after her fifth career stoppage victory. “I’m known for the choke now. I’m so happy.”

Initially, referee Keith Peterson missed Anderson’s tap, but he soon thereafter waved things off as the Montreal native earned the win.
The women’s featherweight bout was part of the main card for UFC on ESPN+ 10 at Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, N.Y.
