Overview
- Amanda Nunes completed her first UFC Anti-Doping Program test after a two-year retirement, officially re-entering the testing pool.
- UFC policy mandates fighters spend six months in random testing before competing, triggering a wait that extends into early 2026 for Nunes.
- Bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison offered to waive that requirement for a small fee in an effort to accelerate the matchup.
- DraftKings opened betting with Harrison as a slight -155 favorite over Nunes, reflecting strong market anticipation.
- The bout will pit the reigning UFC champion against the returning double-champion in a rivalry fueled by their shared American Top Team background.
