Harrison avoids paralysis after urgent neck surgery

Kayla Harrison reportedly withdrew from her UFC 324 co-main event against Amanda Nunes after undergoing urgent neck surgery.

Her manager, Ali Abdelaziz, said medical staff advised immediate treatment to prevent possible paralysis.

According to sources, a spinal disc was pressing on her cord and symptoms improved after the operation.

Harrison, 35, was said to have lost strength in an arm before the procedure and is expected to be sidelined for roughly six months.

The co-main slot was replaced and fans reacted to the late change.
