UFC 334 results: Kayla Harrison survives early surge, snatches late sub to retain title vs. Amanda Nunes

Whether or not Kayla Harrison is the greatest women's mixed martial artist after beating Amanda Nunes is a debate to be had after UFC 334, but there might not be a more decorated or accomplished combat sports athlete on the planet.

Harrison could've retired after undergoing career-threatening neck surgery in January, leaving a legacy for the ages. She had already won two Olympic gold medals in Judo, a UFC championship and two PFL tournaments. But the allure of beating the MMA G.O.A.T. was too great to ignore. In the end, Harrison successfully closed the door on a nearly decade-long chapter with Nunes.

Harrison was likely leading the scorecards by the time Round 4 started, but she looked incredibly fatigued with the outcome still in doubt. Nunes' largely fruitless efforts to grapple with Harrison had at least zapped the champion's energy. But just when it looked like Nunes could start turning the corner, Harrison found her opportunity.
