Kayla Harrison talks about Cris Cyborg and Amanda Nunes
Kayla Harrison already sees herself as one of the greatest combat athletes of all time. The two-time PFL champion is now one of the hottest free agents in MMA and might look to get her hands on a super fight.
The Olympic winner and two-time PFL winner is now lurking to sign a handsome contract with one of the biggest MMA promotions. Kayla Harrison has a record of 12-0 in her professional MMA career. Coming off an amassing $1 million dollar prize fight, Harrison sees only one way and it is the top. Her next big targets are fights with UFC two-division champion Amanda Nunes and current Bellator champion Cris Cyborg.
Harrison in a recent interview with MMA Junkie talked about her two options. Kayla has nothing but respect for both of these fighters. However, she believes there is no way around achieving greatness without facing one of the best inside the cage. Harrison spoke about her situation with “The Lioness” Amanda.
“Personally, I love Amanda….the greatest compliment I can give to Amanda is that I want to fight her, but I want to fight her then go out to eat after, you know? There is no animosity,” said Kayla talking to John Morgan from MMA Junkie. Kayla also revealed she is helping Nunes train for her upcoming fight with Julianna Pena at UFC 269.
Kayla Harrison calls Cris Cyborg a “pinoneer of the sport”
Cris Cyborg is an MMA legend and there is no denying it. The former UFC fighter moved to the Bellator and is now the featherweight champion. The fighter has a record of 24-2 in her entire MMA career and is now undefeated in Bellator. Cyborg has gone four fights undefeated and is now looking for her next challenge.
“Cyborg is someone who is another huge pioneer in the sport. Huge name. One of the greatest, not the greatest, but one of the greatest fighters of all time. I think that would be a great test for me,” said Kayla talking about the Bellator champion.
Kayla said even if she fought Cyborg, she wouldn’t have any animosity and would have nothing but the most respect for the veteran. Now that an elite fighter like Harrison is out as a free agent, where would you like to see the two-time PFL champion fight?
