UFC CEO Dana White announced the signing of former PFL champion Kayla Harrison, who will fight former UFC champion Holly Holm at UFC 300, sparking discussions about Harrison’s ability to make the bantamweight limit and potential impacts on the division.
So, Dana White, UFC’s big boss, dropped a bombshell on Tuesday night. It’s about UFC 300, but it’s not what you’d expect.
He’s gone and signed ex-PFL champ, Kayla Harrison. And guess who she’s squaring off against? None other than former UFC champ, Holly Holm. But here’s the kicker – it’s not a featherweight bout, it’s bantamweight.
Our MMA Fighting crew – Mike Heck, Shaun Al-Shatti, and Jed Meshew – had a lot to say about this. They’re all over Harrison’s signing and her face-off with Holm. But there’s more.
They’re also diving into the sea of questions this news has stirred up. Like, can Harrison really make the bantamweight limit? And what does this mean for the division now that Raquel Pennington‘s the champ?
PFL’s lost a big star, that’s for sure. And what about the potential showdown with Cris Cyborg? Could Harrison’s arrival coax Amanda Nunes out of retirement? Should Julianna Peña be worried? Yeah, there’s a lot to unpack here.
