Kayla Harrison (19-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) was supposed to have a very different week leading up to Saturday night’s UFC 324. Initially, Harrison, the current UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion, was booked to appear in the co-main event of the evening on Saturday.
Her opponent for the belt was to be Amanda Nunes (23-5 MMA, 16-2 UFC.) The original co-main event of UFC 324 was announced almost two months ago, when UFC CEO Dana White made a special appearance at halftime of the Kansas City Chiefs at Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game on The NFL Today.
