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.
