Kayla Harrison now has a late-2026 target for her UFC return, and the clearest read is still the delayed Amanda Nunes title fight.
The update matters because Harrison vs. Nunes was pushed back after Harrison’s neck surgery removed her from the planned UFC 324 title defense.
@Amanda_Leoa wants nothing but the UFC title as she moves forward!

Nunes is 38 and would be returning after more than three years away from competition if the title fight lands late this year.
