The UFC heads to Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, for UFC 334. In the co-main event, Kayla Harrison defends her women’s bantamweight title against Amanda Nunes. Heading into the bout, Harrison is a -196 favorite while the former champ is a +152 underdog on FanDuel.
Ahead of the bout at UFC 334, BJPENN.com reached out to several pro fighters to get their predictions for the women’s bantamweight title fight. The pros believe Nunes will upset Harrison in her return and reclaim the bantamweight title.
BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes:
Julian Erosa, UFC featherweight: I think Nunes. She has less muscle than Harrison, and muscle takes oxygen, and I think Nunes wins in the later rounds.
Dustin Jacoby, UFC light heavyweight: This is a good fight. Amanda is coming back, so there are some questions, and she has the knockout power. But, I do think Kayla will get the win with her wrestling.
Gillian Robertson, UFC strawweight: Amanda. I’ve trained with and known her for a long time, so I might be bias. But I do think she is the greatest woman in combat sports, and I think Amanda won’t be scared of Kayla’s judo and will be aggressive on the feet with her striking.
Mario Bautista, UFC bantamweight: I think Amanda Nunes gets the win. Kayla cuts a lot of weight, and I do worry about that with how hard Amanda hits.
Modestas Bukauskas, UFC light heavyweight: A very tough fight to pick. Kayla has been great in the UFC, but I can never pick against Amanda. Although she does have a layoff, I think she wins.
Terrance McKinney, UFC lightweight: I think Kayla Harrison wins. She will be able to take Amanda down, and Nunes will get tired as we have seen in the past. Kayla defends her belt.
