NEW YORK – One of the biggest fights in women’s MMA history is now locked in after Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes hit their marks at UFC 334 official weigh-ins.
There were some questions about how both ladies would look on the scale on Friday at the host hotel in Manhattan. Harrison (19-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) returns from an 18-month layoff that included a serious neck surgery in attempt to make her first women’s bantamweight title defense, while Nunes (23-5 MMA, 16-2 UFC) returns from a 41-month retirement in attempt to regain her belt in Saturday’s co-headliner at Madison Square Garden (Paramount+).

Concerns around the shape of either side were alleviated when Harrison stepped on the scale and registered at 135 pounds on the nose. She was the first fighter to come to the scale in the session. UFC Hall of Famer Nunes was right behind her, and on the mark at 135 pounds, as well.
The stage is now set for the massive fight between former American Top Team teammates that has legacy, bragging rights and gold on the line.
