Kayla Harrison (19-1-0) and Amanda Nunes (23-5-0) will face off in the UFC Women’s Bantamweight division on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, New York. This fight was initially scheduled to happen at UFC 324 in January this year but was canceled after Harrison suffered a neck injury. Despite the setback, Harrison has run over her three opponents so far in the division, including a title win over Julianna Pena at UFC 316. Bookies are backing her to win this Co-Main Event as the -189 favorite.
Amanda Nunes, on the other hand, is coming out of retirement to face Harrison. The 38-year-old Brazilian will be putting her legacy on the table in exchange for title glory against the reigning champion. Before her retirement, Nunes participated in 12 straight title fights, losing only once to Julianna Pena in December 2021. During the streak, she defeated notable names such as Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate. “The Loneness” is the +145 betting underdog on Saturday night.

Our Kayla Harrison vs Amanda Nunes Prediction
Both fighters are almost evenly matched, at least on paper. The 36-year-old Harrison will be keen to defend her title and cement her top position in the division. She can use her brute strength to take Nunes to the floor and force a submission win. However, Harrison’s injury layoff could slow her down in this contest. It’s also worth mentioning that Nunes is better on her feet, which she could use to close the distance this weekend. Still, we think that Nunes’ retirement layoff could be a big deciding factor in this contest. We expect the former champion to look a bit rusty, although she should stay in this fight until the end. Harrison should get a decision win.
Our prediction for Kayla Harrison vs Amanda Nunes: Kayla Harrison to win.
