Kayla Harrison wants a second fight with Amanda Nunes at 145 pounds after the two settle their bantamweight title bout at UFC 334.
Harrison told reporters at Thursday's press conference that she plans to reclaim the women's featherweight belt once she wins Saturday night, per MMA Mania. The division has been dormant since Nunes retired in 2023 holding both the bantamweight and featherweight straps, forcing Harrison to cut massive weight to compete at 135.

Harrison's Plan To Revive Featherweight Division
"I feel like I am gonna prove I'm the champion on on Saturday night," Harrison said. "And then I'll give her an automatic rematch at 145 so I can snatch that other belt."
The weight cut has been Harrison's toughest opponent since joining UFC. She has previously suggested retirement over continuing to drain down to bantamweight, making the featherweight revival a potential career lifeline.

UFC shuttered the 145-pound women's division when Nunes walked away. Bringing it back would give Harrison a home and set up a Harrison-Cris Cyborg clash down the line. UFC 334 takes place Saturday night in New York.
