All you need to know as Kayla Harrison defends her women's bantamweight title against the returning Amanda Nunes at UFC 334.
Since debuting in the promotion in 2024 Harrison has been unstoppable inside the Octagon, and captured UFC gold with a second-round submission of Julianna Pena in June of last year.
With multiple PFL tournament wins and two Olympic gold medals in judo on her resume, Harrison has a strong argument for being the most decorated female combat athlete of all time.
Perhaps the only fighter that can rival her accomplishments in combat sports is the former two-weight UFC world champion Nunes.
The UFC Hall of Fame inductee announced her retirement from MMA after beating Irene Aldana in 2023 but has since reversed her decision and will look to become a three-time bantamweight queen at Madison Square Garden on 14 November.
