Rose Namajunas vs. Natalia Silva elevated on revamped UFC 324 lineup
With the Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes title fight off UFC 324, the promotion has shuffled the lineup for its debut event on Paramount+.
There will be no replacement for the Harrison vs. Nunes women's bantamweight bout that was booked for the Jan. 24 event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, meaning the matchup between former 135-pound champion Sean O'Malley (18-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) and Song Yadong (22-8-1 MMA, 11-3-1 UFC) will now serve as the co-main event.
That leaves one slot open for the main card lineup, and UFC officials announced on Wednesday that the women's flyweight bout between former two-time champion Rose Namajunas (14-7 MMA, 12-6 UFC) and streaking contender Natalia Silva (19-5-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) will be elevated from the preliminary portion of the card to a main card slot.
