Tonight’s UFC 334 event was co-headlined by a women’s bantamweight title fight between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes.
Harrison (20-1 MMA) was competing for the first time since scoring a second-round submission victory over Julianna Pena at UFC 316 in June of last year (see that here). The former Olympic gold medalist entered this evening’s bout on a four-fight winning streak, a stretch which includes victories over Holly Holm, Aspen Ladd and Ketlen Vieira.
Meanwhile, Amanda Nunes (23-6 MMA) was returning to action for the first time since defeating Irena Aldana at UFC 289 in June of 2023. ‘The Lioness’ had gone 4-1 over her previous five Octagon appearances, a stretch which includes victories over Felicia Spencer, Megan Anderson and Julianna Pena.
Tonight’s UFC 334 co-main event resulted in a fourth-round submission win for Kayla Harrison. Although Amanda Nunes looked great in the standup, she continued to risk fighting with the Olympic gold medalist in the clinch and on the ground. Eventually that decision resulted in her demise, as Harrison locked in a fight-ending choke early in the fourth.

The question is ….
How much will her weight cut affect her cardio as the fight goes on.— Josh Thomson (@THEREALPUNK) November 15, 2026
10-9 Harrison
Very close round with Nunes stinging Kayla early, but Kayla bounced back and landed some solid strikes with Nunes trapped on bottom.

If she survives this spot and willingly clinches again in R3 she deserves to lose

Great job by Kayla so far. 20-18

It is shocking watching Nunez grapple and upper body wrestle with Harrison. She’s in Harrison comfort zone anytime there is connection.

Amanda gave that fight away. Worst. Gameplan. Ever.

Harrison takes advantage of another Nunes error, snatches the neck and she is STILL the undisputed bantamweight champion.
Harrison was an absolute beast tonight. She was the better fighter and showed incredible fight IQ and resolve.
