Amanda Serrano Steps In to Face Amanda Nunes at UFC 324 After Kayla Harrison Injury
The planned UFC 324 co-main event between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes was officially scrapped following Harrison’s sudden medical setback. Harrison underwent neck surgery on January 13 in New York, repairing multiple painful herniated discs successfully.
Doctors revealed the injury developed during an intense training camp, without any single incident clearly causing the serious damage. As a result, the highly anticipated bantamweight title clash has been postponed indefinitely, disappointing fans awaiting a historic championship showdown.
Unexpectedly, boxing superstar Amanda Serrano offered herself as a last-minute replacement, generating widespread excitement across combat sports communities. “If UFC and Amanda Nunes are thinking of a replacement, I would love the challenge as I’m still in fight shape. Hope the champ recovers well,” said Amanda Serrano.
Serrano made it clear that her comments were never meant to disrespect Amanda Nunes, whom she considers the greatest female fighter in MMA history. She openly praised Nunes for her elite striking ability and her confidence inside the Octagon.
Serrano also reminded fans that she has competed in both MMA and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, understanding the sport’s physical and mental demands. According to Serrano, every athlete who has trained in MMA or BJJ dreams of performing on the biggest stages and under the UFC banner.
