Harris off D.C. card with stepdaughter still missing
Walt Harris won't compete at UFC Fight Night in Washington, D.C. while his stepdaughter remains missing, his manager told Marc Raimondi of ESPN.
Aniah Blanchard, 19, has been missing since Oct. 24. Police suspect she is a victim of foul play.
Harris was scheduled to face Alistair Overeem in the main event Dec. 7. It's unclear if Overeem will face a replacement opponent.
UFC president Dana White and light heavyweight champion Jon Jones each pledged a $25,000 reward for the return of Blanchard. As of Thursday, other contributions brought the reward to $80,000.
If anyone has any information on Aniah Blanchard, please call *HP or 911 immediately. Friends and fans please pass this video around. Thank you pic.twitter.com/4xDfcPMhGL
