Kayla Harrison successfully made weight earlier today to make her title fight with Amanda Nunes official in the main event of UFC 334 this weekend in New York, but fight fans were quick to notice that the UFC women’s bantamweight champion looks absolutely terrible on the scale.
You can watch the official UFC 334 early weigh-in video stream HERE.
Harrison, 36, will return for the first time since then in 2026 neck surgery earlier this year which has eluded him. The former PFL standout has looked pretty dominant during his three UFC appearances in 2024-25, but it’s unknown at this point how effective Harrison will be against a legend like Nunes, who is coming off major surgery. Nunes himself has been out for three years, but looks completely healthy and rejuvenated for his return.
Unfortunately for Harrison, things didn’t get off to a great start on Friday. Although the reigning UFC women’s bantamweight champion officially weighed in at 135 pounds, she looked completely wasted doing it. Harrison always cuts a lot of weight and never looks good enough to weigh in, but this is the most important fight of his career and he’s arguably never looked worse on the scale.

After seeing what Harrison looked like on the scale, a number of fight fans took to social media to voice their concerns. Some of those fans may be looking to beat Nunes in her long-awaited UFC return, but Harrison didn’t look good on the scale, regardless of who the fans want to beat.
