1. Nunes returns to UFC
Amanda Nunes will fight for the first time in more than three years when she faces Kayla Harrison on Saturday at Madison Square Garden, seeking to win back the bantamweight title. Nunes said she is ready to return and intends to take the belt from Harrison.
2. Harrison targets another belt
Harrison, a two-time Olympic judo gold medallist and former Professional Fighters League lightweight champion, won the UFC bantamweight title by beating Julianna Pena in her third fight with the promotion. The bout was originally scheduled for January but postponed after Harrison had surgery to repair herniated neck discs. Harrison said she would offer Nunes an automatic rematch at featherweight if she wins.
