Joselyne Edwards will serve as the backup fighter for the women's bantamweight title fight between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes at UFC 334, scheduled for November 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Edwards will weigh in and be paid to make weight, providing the UFC with an option in case of injury or weight miss by either title fight participant.
The bout was postponed from January after Harrison underwent neck surgery, and Nunes chose to wait rather than fight for an interim title. Edwards earned the backup role after winning five consecutive fights in the UFC since late 2024, including four finishes. UFC 334 is headlined by Ciryl Gane vs. Josh Hokit for the undisputed heavyweight belt.
