Kayla Harrison Outlines Training Return After Neck Surgery

The UFC has not set a date for her anticipated matchup with Amanda Nunes.

Overview

  • Kayla Harrison said a CT scan next week could clear her to resume drilling and then sparring within weeks.
  • She withdrew earlier this year from UFC 324 and the planned White House card after disc-replacement surgery on her neck.
  • She shared the recovery plan on Jorge Masvidal’s Death Row MMA podcast and joked that her scar makes her look like a real assassin.
  • The UFC has not announced her next bout or an official booking for the expected fight with Amanda Nunes.
  • Some outlets view early fall as a realistic target, which depends on medical clearance and rebuilding conditioning for 135 pounds.
