Kamaru Usman: Harrison understands where the fight needs to go, beats Nunes
Kamaru Usman sees a clearer path to victory for Kayla Harrison than Amanda Nunes.
Kamaru Usman believes that Kayla Harrison has a better chance of winning against Amanda Nunes than the former champion herself. Harrison, who defends her bantamweight title against Nunes in the co-main event at UFC 334, is known for her strong grappling skills and familiarity with Nunes from their time training together at American Top Team.
Usman, speaking on his Pound 4 Pound podcast, noted that Nunes was dominant in her prime and has since retired, leaving the sport without any other top-tier challengers. Harrison, on the other hand, has been training consistently despite a year-long layoff and recovering from her previous fights. Usman predicts that Harrison will likely take the fight to the ground and dominate Nunes, who has primarily focused on striking in recent years and may have suffered from injuries as a result.
