The gaze between Kayla harrison e Amanda nunes after the American won the belt in the co-main event of the UFC 316, last Saturday (7), practically sealed the Brazilian's return from retirement and a confrontation between the two rivals. In the opinion of a sports legend, the move is a mistake on both sides, especially the new champion.
In a video recently published on his official YouTube channel, Demetrious Johnson, former UFC flyweight champion (up to 56,7 kg), advised Kayla harrison not to face Amanda nunes and compared the two's history in MMA.

"If I were Kayla harrison, I would retire from the sport. I wouldn't fight with Amanda nunes. Kayla is challenging Amanda. I think it's a terrible idea. Kayla harrison is a world champion, but when you look at who Amanda nunes faced and who Kayla faced, there is no comparison. You have Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, Zingano cat, Germain de Randamie, Valentina Shevchenko. The talents Amanda faced in MMA blow away anything that Kayla harrison has done in his entire career,” opined 'Mighty Mouse'.
although consider Amanda nunes widely favored for an eventual duel against Kayla harrison, Demetrious Johnson argues that the 'Lioness' should remain retired.
"Amanda nunes “She doesn’t need to come out of retirement. I think the only thing that’s attracting her to come back is how easy this fight could be. They’ve trained together. She could even take down Amanda, who’s not a small girl. She’s very big and strong for her size. I think Amanda would risk her legacy if she came back, but it’s not something I’d jump off the couch to watch. I’d rather Amanda stay retired and Kayla fight one more time and retire,” he concluded.
