UFC 334 наадмын хамтарсан гол тулаанд оролцох хоёр тамирчин хувийн зөрчилгүй гэдгээ мэдэгдэж, аваргын бүсний төлөөх өрсөлдөөнд анхаарлаа хандуулж байна.
American Top Team (ATT) багийн гишүүн асан Кайла Харрисон болон Аманда Нунес нар арваннэгдүгээр сарын 14-нд Нью-Йорк хотын Madison Square Garden-д тулалдана. Энэхүү тулаанд Харрисон өөрийн эзэмшиж буй UFC-ийн эмэгтэйчүүдийн жингийн аваргын бүсийг хамгаалах бол, гурван жил рингнээс хөндийрсөн Нунес аваргын титмээ эргүүлэн авахыг зорьж байна.
Харрисон тулааны өмнөх хэвлэлийн бага хурлын үеэр тэдний хооронд ямар нэгэн хувийн өс хонзон байхгүй гэдгийг тодотгов. Тэрээр энэхүү тулааныг спортын дээд зэргийн өрсөлдөөн хэмээн тодорхойлж, дэлхийн шилдэг тулаанч болохоо харуулахыг зорьж байгаагаа илэрхийлсэн юм.
Өмнө нь ATT багийн үүсгэн байгуулагч Дэн Ламберт тэднийг бие биеэ үзэн яддаг хэмээн мэдэгдэж байсан ч Харрисон үүнийг спортын шоуны нэг хэсэг хэмээн үгүйсгэв. Тэдний харилцаа Харрисон тус багт нэгдсэнээс хойш өөрчлөгдөж, Нунес 2022 онд багаа орхисон нь тус хоёр тамирчны ирээдүйд тулалдах магадлалтай байсантай холбоотой байв.
Нунес өмнө нь Харрисон болон түүний багийнхныг энэхүү тулааныг урьдаас төлөвлөсөн байж болзошгүй хэмээн хардаж байсан ч Харрисон үүнийг эрс няцаасан юм. Ийнхүү хоёр тамирчин хувийн асуудлаа хойш тавьж, холимог тулааны түүхэн дэх хамгийн шилдэг эмэгтэй тулаанч гэдгээ батлахын төлөө октагонд гарахад бэлэн болоод байна.

Kayla Harrison insists her long-awaited showdown with Amanda Nunes is about competition, not hatred.
The former American Top Team (ATT) stablemates will collide in the UFC 334 co-main event this weekend (Sat., Nov. 14, 2026) from inside Madison Square Garden in New York City. Harrison will defend her women’s Bantamweight championship against Nunes, who is returning from a three-year retirement in an attempt to reclaim the title she never lost inside the Octagon.
Despite the pair’s complicated history, Harrison says there is no personal animosity heading into their blockbuster title fight.
“There is no hate at all,” Harrison told reporters during UFC 334 media day. “Zero hate. This isn’t a Colby [Covington]-[Jorge] Masvidal. This is not a bad blood grudge fight.”
“This is two women — I truly believe I’m the best in the world, and I truly think she thinks she is the best in the world,” Harrison continued. “And we’re going to go out there Saturday night and leave it all out there and hopefully have the best fight of all time for women.”
That’s a much different interpretation than the one recently offered by ATT founder Dan Lambert.
In an extensive ESPN feature detailing the tension between the former teammates, Lambert suggested Harrison and Nunes “probably hate each other’s f—king guts.”
Harrison jokingly dismissed Lambert as “WWE Dan,” pointing to his love of professional wrestling and his willingness to pour gasoline on a compelling storyline.
But the tension did not come out of nowhere.
Harrison joined ATT in 2018 and initially received a warm welcome from Nunes, who was already established as one of UFC’s most dominant champions. The two occasionally trained together, but their relationship changed as Harrison emerged as a potential future opponent. Nunes ultimately left ATT in 2022 and later acknowledged that Harrison’s presence — and the possibility of eventually fighting her — contributed to that decision.
Nunes also appeared to believe Harrison and members of ATT had been maneuvering toward this matchup for years. After Harrison submitted Julianna Peña to win UFC gold in June 2025, Nunes entered the Octagon for their first faceoff and reportedly asked, “You planned this the whole time, right?”
Harrison understands why Nunes may feel betrayed, but she has repeatedly denied that any secret plan existed.
“But I have zero hate for Amanda,” Harrison said. “I have zero hate for anyone, and that’s saying something because I’ve been f—ked over.”
There may be unresolved tension between them, but Harrison views UFC 334 as a battle for supremacy—not an opportunity to settle a personal score.
She wants to beat Nunes because Nunes is considered the greatest female fighter in MMA history. Nothing more, nothing less.
