Joselyne Edwards not surprised to get backup role for Harrison vs. Nunes: 'If not me, who else?'

Joselyne Edwards has been designated as the official alternate for the upcoming bantamweight championship clash between titleholder Kayla Harrison and challenger Amanda Nunes at UFC 334. Edwards, who maintains a five-fight winning streak, expressed confidence in her selection, noting that her recent performance record makes her the logical choice to step in should either headliner be unable to compete.

Although she had been preparing for various potential bouts throughout the latter half of the year, Edwards anticipated this specific assignment after previous matchups failed to materialize. She remains in peak physical condition and ready to face either opponent if the need arises on November 14.
