Kayla Harrison and Cris Cyborg
Henry Cejudo has been craving for some action since he last left the UFC, since then it’s been a constant call-outs and sh*t-talking, subtly or not, to try and get some beef going on and get back in the Octagon. Henry started training with Cris Cyborg for a while now has been trying to set up a cross-promotional event.
Henry has been going back and forth over Twitter with Cyborg’s seemingly next opponent Kayla Harrison who recently signed a contract with the PFL. Cris and Kayla had been beefing about being the best and were also on a collision course if Harrison would’ve joined Bellator, where Cris is the champ. Cyborg recently blocked Kayla on Twitter as there isn’t a chance anymore of the duo getting in the octagon together, or so she thought.
Now that Cejudo is playing ‘Matchmaking’ for the two although they might agree to fight at a catchweight for a ‘Superfight’ but before which the two promotions will have to make it happen. Bellator President Scott Coker and PFL Chairman Donn Davis say that they would have no problem doing so as both of the fighters want it too.

“We welcome you with open arm bars” Henry Cejudo welcoms Kayla Harrison to train with Cris Cyborg
Ce’judo’ who ironically has shown his little mean face to the Judoka turned MMA fighter Kayala by saying that she has no experience when it comes to wrestling/BJJ or striking. Henry adds that she would be lost in the matchup against Cyborg and they welcome her with open arm-bars.
“I haven’t seen kicks from her, I haven’t seen jabs, I haven’t seen straight hands… what happens when you can’t throw somebody… so if Kayla wants a piece of Cyborg, we welcome you with open arm bars.”
PFL Chairman Donn Davis on the other hand recently just raised the stakes on his recent tweet asking Bellator’s President Scott Coker if he would be down to have a cross promotional event but with a catch, the loser pays for the event. What do you think of the matchup?
