Amanda Nunes Insists on Kayla Harrison for Undisputed Title, Eyes UFC 329

Uncertainty over Kayla Harrison's clearance keeps the matchup unbooked.

Overview

  • Amanda Nunes said she will not fight for an interim bantamweight belt and will only face Kayla Harrison for the undisputed title.
  • Nunes reported she is healthy and back in training and proposed July 11 at UFC 329 during International Fight Week in Las Vegas, though no deal is set.
  • Kayla Harrison withdrew from their January UFC 324 bout after neck surgery for herniated discs, and her summer readiness remains unclear.
  • Nunes pressed Harrison for a date, saying she plans to win back the belt and defend it, and punctuated her callout with, “get your s—t together.”
  • With Ronda Rousey facing Gina Carano on Netflix on May 16, Nunes backed Rousey’s return and said the spotlight helps women’s MMA even as she waits for Harrison.
