A highly anticipated bantamweight title fight between champion Kayla Harrison and former champ Amanda Nunes has been postponed. Harrison, 35, underwent surgery for herniated discs in her neck this week, forcing the UFC 324 co-main event off the card. The bout was scheduled for Las Vegas next week.

Nunes, widely considered the greatest female fighter ever, was coming out of retirement for this matchup. The two share history from their time training together at American Top Team, where Nunes left in 2022 citing the potential for a future clash. This postponement delays a historic clash between two generations of elite talent.

The UFC has not announced a new date for the championship fight. Harrison's recovery timeline remains unclear following the neck procedure. Fans now await updates on whether this blockbuster matchup will be rescheduled for later in 2026 or if Nunes will pursue other options.
