Amanda Nunes returns to fight Kayla Harrison at UFC 334

Fight scheduled for November

Amanda Nunes, thirty-eight years old, steps out of retirement to challenge Kayla Harrison. The contest takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York City this Saturday. The bout was initially scheduled for January yet the gathering faced a delay. Harrison required neck and spinal surgery before the scheduled date arrived for their bout.

Nunes history and records

The Brazilian fighter won twenty-three of her twenty-eight fights since debuting in 2008. She holds eleven wins in title fights, a record shared with Valentina Shevchenko. No other female holds UFC belts across two weight divisions at once like Nunes. Her opponents included Ronda Rousey and Cris Cyborg during her dominant run.

Reasons for comeback

Nunes stated she returns because Harrison brings a specific challenge to the cage. She wants to prove who is the best girl in the octagon. The fighter believes this match will help women's MMA return to the spotlight. Nunes says she is here today as a double champion rather than a challenger.
