## Summary

Amanda Nunes is returning to the UFC after more than three years away to face Kayla Harrison for the bantamweight title. The bout could reshape the debate over the greatest women’s fighter, as Nunes seeks to reclaim a belt she once dominated and Harrison aims to establish her own legacy.

Nunes, 38, won the bantamweight title in 2016 and later added the featherweight crown, with notable victories over Ronda Rousey and Cris Cyborg. Harrison, a two-time Olympic judo gold medallist and former PFL lightweight champion, won the UFC bantamweight belt by beating Julianna Peña. Their fight at Madison Square Garden was postponed from January after Harrison had surgery for herniated neck discs; Harrison says she would offer Nunes a featherweight rematch if she wins.
