Former two-time PFL (Professional Fighters League) lightweight tournament victor, Kayla Harrison will have no struggle making the 135 pound limit for the first time in her fighting career, according to Dana White, with the CEO confident of the Ohio native’s ability to hit the mark inaugurally at UFC 300 in April.
Harrison, a former two-time lightweight tournament victor under the Peter Murray-led PFL banner, also struck gold twice in separate summer Olympic Games, partaking in Judo.
And forever linked with a potential move to the Octagon since transitioning to mixed martial arts back in 2018, Harrison had been linked with a super fight of sorts against former two-division gold holder, Amanda Nunes prior to the Brazilian’s retirement in June of last year.
