Joselyne Edwards to serve as backup fighter for Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes at UFC 334

Joselyne Edwards has been designated as the alternate for the bantamweight championship bout between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes at UFC 334. This matchup, which serves as the co-main event on November 12, was previously delayed by ten months due to a neck procedure required by Harrison.

Nunes chose to remain sidelined during this recovery period rather than pursue an interim title. Edwards earned this standby position following a five-fight winning streak that included four finishes and a recent decision over Norma Dumont.

The card at Madison Square Garden will be headlined by a heavyweight title fight between Ciryl Gane and Josh Hokit.
