Amanda Nunes returns to challenge Kayla Harrison at UFC 334

Summary

Amanda Nunes is set to return to the Octagon at UFC 334 on November 14, 2026, where she will challenge Kayla Harrison for the Bantamweight title at Madison Square Garden. Nunes, a former two-division champion, had stepped away from competition following her fight against Irene Aldana at UFC 289 in June 2023, citing burnout and a desire to focus on family. After a break, Nunes expressed renewed enthusiasm for MMA and motivation to face Harrison, who has captured the championship during her absence. This highly anticipated bout marks Nunes' return as she aims to become a three-time UFC women's Bantamweight champion.
