Megan Anderson has an opponent and date for her return to the Octagon, as the former Invicta featherweight champion will be taking on the undefeated Felicia Spencer at UFC Rochester on May 18, as originally reported by The Daily Telegraph on Monday.

Megan Anderson recently rejoiced the UFC’s signing of Felicia Spencer and other names, signalling that the promotion is finally making some administrative moves to get the featherweight division going:

“I’ve been given some news that they are finally starting to sign some featherweights,” Anderson said in a recent media scrum. “I know that they’ve signed Bea Malecki. I think she was on the Ultimate Fighter, but she’s apparently wanting to jump to 135, which is shit, but whatever. I know they’ve signed Felicia Spencer. They’ve signed a few other girls, and Mick is currently looking for a fight for me.”

That fight has been found and it takes place at the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, New York on May 18.
