Amanda Nunes takes an enormous step towards the UFC comeback, since Kayla Harrison makes “small fees” plelation


The greatest female fighter ever took a big step to take her comeback in the UFC this year.

Last June at UFC 316, Kayla Harrison became one of the greatest athletes of all time when she won UFC Gold after the submission of Julianna Pena.

With her victory, Harrison became one of the few fighters who won both an Olympic gold medal and a UFC title, which was one of the greatest female stars in martial arts.

And after her title victory, Harrison was faced with her next opponent when the former double champion of women, Amanda Nunes, stormed into the cage for her first face.

Amanda Nunes registers the drug test in front of the UFC comeback

When Amanda Nunes went back from sports, it was not surprising for the UFC fan base because no candidates had to fight after “The Lioness”.

When the transport then announced her signing by Harrison, the Brazilians decided almost immediately that she would probably bring her back.

Harrison and Nunes have a certain story because they both trained together in the American Top Team, and Harrison admitted that Nunes defeated her before deciding.

Nevertheless, the current champion has improved jumps since their joint training session, and the two are now a step closer to each other.

Nunes has now officially registered a drug test session in accordance with the UFC anti-doping database and confirms that its comeback is on. It is unclear how long the Brazilian was in the test pool before registering her test.

During a recent Q&A in the ceremonial weighing of UFC 318, Harrison announced that she agreed to ignore the need to ignore Nunes in the test pool for a “small fee” for six months.

“I didn't hear too much either, but they believe that after this weekend I will roar my young Ali (Abdelaziz) to the young Ali (Abdelaziz).

“I said I would do without (I have to be in the test pool for six months) for a small fee. I'm ready to fight. Fight fighters,” continued Harrison.

When could Harrison take place against Nunes?

Although Harrison is open to give Nunes an exception to the usual rules, it is unlikely that the doctorate will quickly follow the return of Nunes.

And in this sense, when Nunes has just returned to the test pool, she could return the soonest in January next year.

After Donald Trump recently announced that the next year on July 4 will take place in the White House this year, almost the entire squad has threw her names in the hat to fight on the menu.

It is likely that the campaign stacks the event from top to bottom and may leave a place for Harrison against Nunes on this card.
