UFC 324 fight postponed Nunes will not challenge Kayla Harrison at UFC 324, according to Damon Martin of MMAFighting.com.

Impact Initially, Nunes was scheduled to challenge Harrison for the UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship in Las Vegas on Jan. 24. But after recent consultations with UFC doctors, Harrison recently underwent surgery to repair herniated discs in her neck, so she will not make it to UFC 324 in 10 days. The expectation is that both fighters' next bout is against each other, so that also downgrades Nunes' status to out for the pay-per-view. It is unknown when Harrison will be ready for Nunes, but with their next bout still expected to be against each other, it is all on Harrison's recovery to determine when Nunes will fight next.

Gets date for Harrison fight Nunes will fight Kayla Harrison at UFC 324 on Jan. 24, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.

Impact Nunes will come out of retirement to fight for the first time in two years and attempt to strip Harrison of her Women's Bantamweight title. The 37-year-old Nunes is certainly no stranger to title fights, though her extended hiatus could leave her susceptible to rust.

Set to face Harrison in return Nunes came out of retirement in early-June and plans to face Kayla Harrison for the UFC Women's Bantamweight title in late-2025.

Impact Nunes originally announced her retirement in June of 2023, but she told reporters in a press conference prior to UFC 316 that she intended to face the winner of the title fight between Kayla Harrison and Julianna Pena (per MMAFighting.com). Harrison ended up winning that co-main event fight in emphatic fashion, and afterwards, Nunes entered the Octagon to face off with the new champion. A date hasn't been set yet, but early betting odds peg Nunes, the long-time former champion, as a (+130) underdog. She'll be 37 years old when this fight happens, while Harrison will turn 35 in July. As is always the case against Harrison, the key to victory for Nunes will be stuffing the relentless takedown pressure of the former Olympic judo champion. If Nunes can remain upright, which few have been able to do against the strength of Harrison, she'll have an advantage in the striking department. Should she emerge victorious, Nunes told media members that she would be open to additional fights and would compete "as long as my body can handle [it]."
