Dustin Poirier backs Kayla Harrison against Amanda Nunes at UFC 334

Dustin Poirier expresses confidence in Kayla Harrison's ability to defeat Amanda Nunes in their upcoming bantamweight title fight at UFC 334. Scheduled for September 30, 2026, this matchup marks Harrison's first title defense after winning the belt at UFC 316. Poirier believes Harrison's grappling skills, particularly her strength and wrestling, could overwhelm Nunes if she successfully takes the fight to the ground. Nunes, a former two-division champion, retired in 2023 after a successful title defense at UFC 289. This clash is viewed as significant for both fighters as it may be their last appearance in the octagon.
