Kayla Harrison next fights after Amanda Nunes victory at UFC 334, Digi Mart USA News: Kayla Harrison’s victory over Amanda Nunes at UFC 334 was described in the source report as more than an ordinary win. The Olympic judoka used relentless wrestling and top control to wear down the Brazilian legend over five rounds.
Harrison now sits atop the bantamweight division with momentum and several compelling options.
The first option the source article recommends is a bantamweight title defense against Luana Santos. The Brazilian has climbed the rankings with a five-fight win streak, mixing boxing with scrambles that have troubled grapplers.
The report presents Santos as a hungry contender with takedown defense sharp enough to keep the fight standing for stretches.
The second option is a move to featherweight to challenge for the 145-pound title. The article notes that the featherweight belt is the only women’s championship Harrison has not yet held.
A fight with the current or next featherweight titleholder would make her a two-division champion, according to the report.
The third option is a rematch with Nunes, should the Brazilian decide to return. The source article says Nunes has never been submitted and has built a career on adapting in rematches.
The report describes such a fight as a potentially major event, with Harrison as the favorite.
The publisher article concludes that Harrison could choose any of these three fights for a main event. It frames defending against Santos as the smart move and a featherweight move as the bold one.
