Amanda Nunes, considered the most dominant female fighter in UFC history, has announced her return from retirement. After stepping away in June 2023, Nunes attended UFC 316 and expressed her eagerness to fight the winner between Julianna Peña and Kayla Harrison. She shared that adjusting to motherhood has made her miss fighting, noting that her children are now old enough to allow her to refocus on her career. Nunes has a fighting history with both title contenders and her return holds significant implications for the bantamweight division.
Nunes expressed her excitement to return by stating, 'I missed [fighting] so much. My baby is big now... but now, my baby is bigger and I'm ready to go.'
Dana White has previously shown enthusiasm for Nunes' return but has not confirmed if she will fight the Peña-Harrison winner next.
