Out for UFC 324 Harrison will not fight Amanda Nunes at UFC 324 due to neck surgery, per Bill Burt of The Eagle Tribune.

Impact Harrison flew to New York last weekend to consult with UFC doctors on her neck problems, which include multiple herniated discs. After she got recommended to undergo surgery, it has been done, according to Damon Martin of MMAFighting.com. The procedure not only postpones the Harrison-Nunes fight but also sidelines the former indefinitely. The bout is expected to be immediately re-scheduled once Harrison recovers, so it is all up to her recovery as 2026 continues. Even though Harrison will be out long-term, because of the stakes of her upcoming fight with Nunes, it looks like the UFC will not vacate the UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship held by the former.
