UFC Postpones Harrison–Nunes After Champion’s Neck Surgery

Matchmakers are weighing short‑notice options for the Paramount+ debut card.

Overview

  • The UFC confirmed the bantamweight title fight set for Jan. 24 at T-Mobile Arena is off and will be rescheduled for a later date.
  • Former bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley’s bout with Song Yadong has been elevated to the UFC 324 co-main event.
  • Early reporting projects roughly a six-month recovery for Kayla Harrison following neck surgery, though the UFC has not given a timetable.
  • Top contenders Julianna Peña and Norma Dumont publicly offered to face Amanda Nunes on short notice, with Dumont also floating an interim title idea.
  • Boxing star Amanda Serrano said she would step in despite fighting primarily in boxing, as initial injury reports from The Eagle Tribune were corroborated by journalist Léo Walker Guimaraes.
