Kayla Harrison successfully made weight earlier today to make her title fight opposite Amanda Nunes official for UFC 334’s co-main event this weekend in New York City, but fight fans quickly noticed the UFC women’s bantamweight champion looked absolutely horrible on the scale.
The official UFC 334 early weigh ins video stream can be seen HERE.
Harrison, 36, is returning for the first time in 2026 following neck surgery earlier this year that has kept her on the sidelines. The former PFL standout has looked
pretty dominant over three UFC appearances from 2024-2025, but it’s unknown at this time how effective Harrison will be against a legend like Nunes coming off a major surgery. Nunes has been sidelined for three years herself, but she appears completely healthy and rejuvenated for her return.
Unfortunately for Harrison, things did not get off to a good start on Friday. While the reigning UFC women’s bantamweight champion officially hit weight at 135 pounds she looked completely washed out doing so. Harrison is always cutting a lot of weight and never looks that good for weigh ins, but this is the most important fight of her career and she’s arguably never looked worse on the scale.

After seeing what Harrison looked like on the scale a collection of fight fans took to social media to express their concerns. Some of these fans may be rooting for Nunes to win in her long-awaited UFC comeback, but Harrison did not look good on the scale regardless of who fans want to win.
Check out some of the reaction below:
“F—ing hell she looks drained.”
