The Ultimate Fighting Championship is hosting another event tonight in New York City at Madison Square Garden! The UFC Heavyweight Championship is on the line in the Main Event as Ciryl Gane defends it against Josh Hokit. But in the co-main event, former UFC two-division champion Amanda Nunes is making her long-awaited return after over three years away from the Octagon. Amanda Nunes is challenging Kayla Harrison for the Women’s Bantamweight title.
Nunes, 38, is highly regarded as the greatest women’s fighter in UFC history. She has a 23-5 record with 17 finishes. Nunes has competed in the UFC since 2013 and has gone 16-2 in the promotion with 11 title wins, the fourth most in promotion history. Nunes is 14-1 in her previous 15 contests and has won two straight fights following her previous loss to Julianna Pena. Her last fight came against Irene Aldana at UFC 289 in June 2023. With a win at UFC 334, Nunes would tie Demetrious Johnson with 12 title wins, the third most.
