Kayla Harrison gears up for UFC super fight with Amanda Nunes

Ahead of UFC 316, Harrison was already one of the most successful fighters in the history of women’s MMA — and combat sports in general. She is a former Olympic gold medalist in judo, and also won the lightweight championship twice in the PFL cage. After her win over Peña, her legacy is all the more impressive.

She is not done yet.

After UFC 316, Harrison is expected to fight Amanda Nunes. Nunes, who previously held the UFC featherweight and bantamweight belts, is considered the best fighter in the history of women’s MMA. She has been retired for several years, but now plans to return. She’ll walk right into a title shot with Harrison.

Soon after Harrison won the belt, she was joined in the cage by Nunes. The two engaged in a friendly face-off. It was no surprise, given that Nunes also used to train at American Top Team.
