NEW YORK – After years of build, Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes are now just one sleep away from their highly anticipated UFC 334 super fight.
Harrison (19-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) will return from an 18-month layoff after neck surgery to put women’s bantamweight gold on the line against former multi-time champion Nunes (23-5 MMA, 16-2 UFC), who hasn’t fought since June 2023, in the co-main event of Saturday’s card at Madison Square Garden in New York (Paramount+).
The showdown between the former American Top Team teammates was originally meant to happen in January before Harrison sustained her injury, but both women’s MMA legends made it through camp this time around, setting the stage for one of the most meaningful female fights to ever take place under the UFC banner.
Harrison and Nunes were intense as they crossed path for the final time before sharing the octagon at Friday’s ceremonial weigh-ins, having one last faceoff in front of fans and media.
Check out the video above to see the final Harrison vs. Nunes staredown before UFC 334.
