It was a fight that was supposed to happen earlier this year, only for a neck injury and surgery to rule Harrison out of the bout.

In a recent podcast appearance, Harrison had the following to say about her comeback.

Harrison discusses UFC return timeline

“I look like a real assassin now,” Harrison joked about her neck scar on “Death Row MMA” with Jorge Masvidal and Chris Duncan. “I look like someone tried to get me, but they failed.”

“I think I’m gonna have a CT scan like next week, and if all looks good, then I’m allowed to start drilling,” Harrison said. “I think a couple of weeks after that, I’ll be back to sparring.”

“Mami soon come,” Harrison said.
