Joselyne Edwards Thrilled to Be Backup for UFC 334 Title Fight

UFC women’s bantamweight contender Joselyne Edwards expressed excitement over her role as backup for the upcoming UFC 334 co-main event, where reigning champion Kayla Harrison faces Amanda Nunes. Edwards, who has secured five consecutive victories—including four finishes—has earned the UFC’s trust as a reliable backup, ready to step in if either of the headliners is unable to compete.

Her dominance in the division, marked by decisive knockouts and submissions, has positioned her as a top contender for the title should Harrison or Nunes be sidelined. With Harrison hinting at a potential retirement after the fight, Edwards could also be poised for a title shot if the belt remains vacant.

The UFC’s selection of Edwards underscores her standing as one of the most formidable fighters in the women’s bantamweight division, where finishes are less common than in other weight classes. Her ability to close fights quickly has caught the attention of matchmakers, who prioritize fighters who deliver decisive results.

Edwards’ mindset reflects her confidence and readiness, as she has stated she would challenge the winner of the Harrison-Nunes bout regardless of circumstances.
