Up to this point, it still hasn’t been made official, with the GOAT attempting to get herself in the best shape possible to face this enormous challenge.
For Kayla Harrison, this fight is about securing her legacy as one of the greatest female fighters of all time. Many would already say she’s already done that, but this would really cement it.

Kayla Harrison looks forward to Amanda Nunes challenge
“I have had the conversations with my coaches about how long do we wait before (we pivot), and I have an idea in my mind, like, ‘Hey, if I don’t have news by this time, then I’m just going to ask (for a different opponent),’” Harrison told MMA Junkie. “It’s also not fair for the division. I want to be conscientious of being a champion and being respectful of other fighters’ time and career.
“We all have a very short window. I would never want to put someone else’s dream on hold because, you know, that’s something that I do think about. I’m pretty sure (the Nunes fight is) going to happen. From everything I hear, she’s ready to go, she wants to fight, I want to fight. We’re just waiting on the details.”
