Kayla Harrison wants to go down as the greatest fighter in the history of MMA. But the only way the two-time Olympic gold medalist is going to achieve that lofty goal is by taking on the best possible opposition.
Her pursuit of that acclaimed title is one of the reasons why she lobbied hard for Professional Fighters League to go after former UFC champion Cris Cyborg when she became a free agent earlier this year.
Harrison has targeted Cyborg as a fighter she’s wanted to face ever since making her transition from judo to mixed martial arts.
