The highly anticipated UFC 324 co-main event, featuring Kayla Harrison's defense of the women's bantamweight title against Amanda Nunes, has been postponed. This fight was expected to be a historic showdown between two of the greatest female fighters in MMA history. But here's where it gets controversial... The postponement comes after Harrison underwent neck surgery on Tuesday to address herniated discs, as reported by The Eagle Tribune. This surgery was a necessary step to ensure Harrison's health and safety, as she had been facing doubts about her ability to safely cut to bantamweight due to her large frame. While the fight will be moved to a later date, it's unclear when it will take place. This delay has left fans and analysts alike with a lot to ponder. The Harrison-Nunes bout was seen as a potential turning point in women's MMA, with Nunes, the current UFC featherweight champion, widely considered the greatest female fighter in the history of the sport. Nunes has an impressive record of 10 wins over women who have held UFC championships. However, the postponement also raises questions about the future of this highly anticipated matchup. Will Harrison be able to make a full recovery in time for the fight? And what does this mean for Nunes' plans and her legacy in the sport? These are the questions that UFC fans and MMA enthusiasts are now left to ponder. The UFC 324 event, which was set to take place on January 24th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, is the first in a landmark media rights deal between UFC and Paramount. It will stream live on Paramount+ as part of the subscription, marking the end of pay-per-view UFC events. While the postponement is disappointing, it's important to prioritize the health and safety of the athletes involved. As we await further updates on the fight's rescheduled date, let's keep our fingers crossed for a successful recovery for Kayla Harrison and an exciting return to the Octagon for both her and Amanda Nunes.
