Bio: Megan Anderson, born and raised on Australia’s Gold Coast. Growing up, sport was not her forte, with Anderson even admitting “I was extremely unathletic”, however; after finding mixed martial arts, her attitude towards sports and competing changed significantly. Since only competing for just over two years, Megan has built up a 4-1 professional record while also redeeming her debut loss. Anderson now boasts a four fight win streak and looks to improve that. While growing not only inside the gym and cage, Anderson is also developing quite the fan base on social media. Her attitude and personality is one of a kind which has proven to be approved and accepted specifically by the U.S audience and mma fan base.
“I fight because I love it. I fight because I want to be the best. I go in there to get the job done in the most ruthless and brutal way possible way.”

I train usually 3 times a day. I do a morning, midday and night time session. My morning sessions are working on my striking with my striking coaches. Usually midday is strength and conditioning and evenings is a mix of striking, jiu jitsu, wrestling, mma specific drilling and sparring.

I want to be the best in the world so that constant drive and determination is was motivates me every day to train harder and constantly improve as a martial artist.
WHAT PROFESSION OTHER THAN YOUR OWN WOULD YOU LIKE TO ATTEMPT AND WHY?
I would love to work with troubled teens. With my life experiences, I’d love to be able to help teens through what can be a very confusing, scary and confronting time of their life.
IF YOU COULD MEET ANYONE, LIVING OR DEAD, WHO WOULD YOU MEET AND WHY?
I would love to meet the old Vikings back in the day. They were such strong and ruthless people and were fearless! You could learn a lot from them and their way of life.
IF YOU COULD FIGHT ANYONE, LIVING OR DEAD, WHO WOULD YOU FIGHT AND WHY?
If I had to choose someone to fight, I guess I’d like to fight someone like Gina Carano. She was such a pioneer for women’s mixed martial arts and it would be could to see the stylistic match up between the old school vs the new school of MMA in a fight.
