Ode Osbourne Withdraws From UFC 329

Overview

• Osbourne confirmed on Tuesday that he cannot compete on July 11 and said he will rest and aim to return at the next show.
• Cody Durden posted on social media asking for a new opponent with roughly 19 days until UFC 329 after the matchup was called off.
• Brazilian fighter Andre Lima publicly offered to step in at a proposed 130-pound catchweight to face Durden on short notice.
• The UFC had not issued an official confirmation of the withdrawal or named a replacement as of the latest reports, and any new bout would need quick contract approval and medical clearance.
• The change removes a planned opener from the high-profile International Fight Week card headlined by Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway and matters for Durden’s momentum after his April win.
