The super fight between Amanda Nunes and Kayla Harrison finally has a new date. The MMA legend will challenge the bantamweight champion (up to 61,2 kg) and rival at UFC 334, an event scheduled to take place on November 14th in New York (USA). The organization itself announced the historic duel this Saturday (19), during the broadcast of UFC 331.

Originally, the highly anticipated fight between the MMA stars was scheduled for UFC 324 in January, but it was canceled. At the time, Kayla suffered a serious neck injury, had to undergo surgery, and, unable to compete, was removed from the event.
Months later, the superfight was rescheduled, as expected. The encounter represents Amanda's return to the UFC. Retired since 2023, the Lioness made it clear that she would return to competition to face the American and put an end to the rivalry once and for all.
