The trash talk is heating up, but not between the fighters involved in the potential matchup.
On Tuesday, undefeated free agent Kayla Harrison (12-0) re-signed with Professional Fighters League when the organization utilized matching rights to keep her under contract. Offers from the Ultimate Fighting Championship and Bellator MMA were beaten by the PFL’s unexpectedly large war chest, thereby keeping the two-time Olympic gold medalist under its banner. Following the signing, Bellator chief Scott Coker expressed his disappointment to MMA Junkie that Harrison was kept under lock and key with PFL.
