UFC women's bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison stated she plans to continue fighting until she can no longer compete, ahead of her title defense against Amanda Nunes at UFC 334.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison has provided insight into her future plans as she prepares for her upcoming title defense. Harrison is scheduled to face former division champion Amanda Nunes in the co-main event of UFC 334, which takes place on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

In recent comments, the champion indicated that while she intends to remain active and compete as long as she is physically capable, she is aware that her career in the sport will not continue indefinitely. Harrison emphasized that she plans to fight until her body can no longer sustain the rigors of high-level competition, though she noted that her time in the professional circuit will likely reach its conclusion in the not-too-distant future.

This high-stakes bout marks a significant moment for the women's bantamweight division, as Nunes makes her return to the Octagon following her retirement. For fantasy managers, this marquee matchup represents a clash of two dominant forces. Harrison remains a focal point of the division's landscape, and her performance against a decorated veteran like Nunes will be critical for those evaluating stock in the 135-pound hierarchy. As the event at Madison Square Garden nears, all eyes remain on whether Harrison can cement her status as the division's top dog by defeating the returning former queen.
