Kayla Harrison Says She’ll Send Amanda Nunes Back to Retirement at UFC 324

The bout doubles as the UFC’s first marquee event on Paramount+.

Overview

  • Harrison defends the women’s bantamweight title against the returning former champion on Jan. 24 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
  • The co-headliner streams on Paramount+ under a new seven-year media rights deal, with Harrison noting expanded promotional duties.
  • Nunes enters her first fight since retiring after a unanimous-decision win over Irene Aldana in 2023.
  • Nunes has been training with Larissa Pacheco, the only fighter to defeat Harrison, which the champion downplayed as a style fit.
  • Harrison, a two-time Olympic judo gold medalist who moved from PFL to the UFC in 2024, won the bantamweight belt last June and says there is no bad blood.
