Kayla Harrison Prepares for UFC 334 Title Defense Against Amanda Nunes

Current UFC women’s bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison is scheduled to defend her title against former champion Amanda Nunes at UFC 334. The event is set to take place on November 14, 2026, at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

During a recent podcast appearance, the 36-year-old fighter acknowledged that her competitive career is approaching its conclusion. Harrison noted that she has undergone four surgeries in four years and cited personal priorities, including her responsibilities as a single mother, as factors influencing her future plans. She emphasized that while she intends to keep competing for now, her time in the sport is limited.

Harrison’s career includes two Olympic gold medals in judo and a 15-1 professional record under the PFL banner before she joined the UFC in 2024. Since her debut at UFC 300, she has secured victories over Holly Holm, Ketlen Vieira, and Julianna Pena to capture the 135-pound championship.
