It's happening. Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes will meet in the UFC 324 co-feature for the women's bantamweight title.

Amanda Nunes is returning to challenge Kayla Harrison, who achieved her bantamweight title ambitions on MMA’s biggest stage when she submitted Julianna Pena with a kimura at UFC 316 last June.

In June of that year, Nunes retired from mixed martial arts after retaining the UFC women’s bantamweight belt against Irene Aldana. Raquel Pennington won the vacant title in January 2024 and lost it to Julianna Pena nine months later, before Harrison dethroned Pena this June.

Amanda Nunes has opened as a betting underdog for the first time in nearly eight years vs. Kayla Harrison at UFC 324.

Kayla Harrison isn't sure her fight against Amanda Nunes at UFC 324 will even happen as she thinks the Brazilian will miss weight.

Amanda Nunes' coach Din Thomas isn't upset with the UFC Hall of Famer's return being the UFC 324 co-main event.
