The featherweight champion wrote in Instagram DMs:
Tough one for me, I have always said Nunes would win that fight… but the time away from the sport has me leaning towards Kayla. Really looking foward to seeing this fight.

Amanda Nunes Will Return to the Octagon after over 40 months away from the sport
It was June 2023 when Amanda Nunes last fought. Having won the title back from Julianna Pena at UFC 277, Nunes took on Irene Aldana at UFC 289.
She earned a unanimous decision win over the Mexican and announced her retirement right after her win. Two years later, in June 2025, Nunes announced her return, adding that she would be taking on the winner of Kayla Harrison vs. Pena.
Harrison submitted Pena in only the second round of their fight at UFC 316, and a fight against Nunes was set.
