Off the back of her sophomore Octagon win over the course of last weekend, Kayla Harrison has claimed was hoping for an entirely different performance en route to her decision win at UFC 307 against perennial contender, Ketlen Vieira.
Harrison, who made her Octagon debut back in April on the preliminary card of UFC 300, managed to turn in a dominant second round rear-naked choke win over common-foe and former undisputed bantamweight titleholder, Holly Holm.
And matching with Manaus native, Vieira over the course of last weekend, Harrison failed to force a finish against the Brazilian in the pair’s title-eliminator — and was ignored by the newly-minted champion, Julianna Pena, who skirted a pairing with the Ohio native in the hope of luring Amanda Nunes from retirement into a trilogy rubber match.
