Overview
- Kayla Harrison retained the UFC women's bantamweight title by rear-naked choke submission of Amanda Nunes in the fourth round, a victory that occurred on Nov. 14, 2026, at Madison Square Garden.
- UFC CEO Dana White said he would consider booking an immediate rematch between Harrison and Nunes at featherweight (145 lb) as a way to avoid repeated brutal cuts to 135 lb.
- Harrison said she has “a lot of decisions to make” after the fight and pointed to recent multi-level cervical fusion surgery and repeated heavy weight cuts as central factors in whether she continues fighting.
- Amanda Nunes left the cage without a post-fight interview and her future is unclear, with multiple outlets reporting she could return to retirement after the loss.
- Ciryl Gane also kept his heavyweight title by unanimous decision over Josh Hokit, and the combined results leave open short-term rematch or super-fight options while prompting questions about rebuilding the UFC women’s featherweight ranks.
