Ode Osbourne Withdraws From UFC 329 Flyweight Bout

Durden has issued an open challenge, leaving the promotion racing to find a short‑notice replacement.

Overview

  • Osbourne confirmed on social media that he cannot compete on July 11 and Cody Durden posted on Tuesday that his opponent pulled out and asked who will step in.
  • Multiple outlets report the withdrawal is linked to an undisclosed injury, though Osbourne did not publicly specify the cause in his statement.
  • The UFC is actively seeking a flyweight replacement to keep Durden on the UFC 329 prelims and Andre Lima publicly offered to step in at a proposed 130‑pound catchweight.
  • This is the first reported cancellation for the July 11 card at T‑Mobile Arena and none of the event’s marquee main‑card fights have been removed so far.
  • Short‑notice replacement talks will hinge on a fighter’s ability to make weight, pass medical and commission clearances, and accept a quick fight camp, which will determine whether Durden stays on the card or is removed.
