Former UFC champion officially back in anti-doping program

Former UFC women's two-division champion Amanda Nunes appears set on fighting once again. Nunes, who announced her retirement in 2023, has officially entered back into the UFC's anti-doping program.

Nunes was drug tested over the last seven days, as numbers are updated weekly on the UFC's anti-doping website. The results come from random tests, so the exact time of her return to the anti-doping program is unknown.

Following a title-winning performance from Kayla Harrison earlier this year over Julianna Pena, Nunes made it known that she was planning to return and look to claim back the bantamweight title.

The 37-year-old is the only female fighter to win UFC championships in multiple weight classes. She is also the only UFC fighter to defend two titles in two different weight classes while actively holding them at the same time.

Her last fight came in June 2023 at UFC 289 when she defending the bantamweight belt with a decision over Irene Aldana. Nunes lost to Pena in 2021 but earned a victory in the rematch in July 2022.
