Odds on Amanda Nunes vs. Kayla Harrison have been set at BetOnline.
Amanda Nunes +155
Kayla Harrison -180
Note: The line opened -150 and +130.
Harrison barely had minutes to cool down after a dominant submission win earned her the 135-pound championship — in front of a packed house that included President Donald Trump and former boxer Mike Tyson.
Harrison’s hand raised in victory.
“Everything I ever wanted is happening,” she said.
“I see you Amanda! Come on up, Amanda,” Harrison bellowed from the cage.
Nunes stepped out of retirement and into the fray, the two former training partners shook hands and exchanged a few pleasantries before the fighters struck a fierce, staredown pose.
Nunes wants a UFC return in 2025 and admitted that the new champ Harrison "can bring me fear".
"Honestly, if I stayed at American Top Team this fight might not ever happen," Nunes told ESPN post-fight at UFC 316. "I left. It was my decision. Now I have my own gym, my own camp with my own coaches that I set up everything with. I'm going to get in camp full time. I've been training here and there, always in shape. But honestly like November-December, I'm going to be ready to go."
