If Kayla Harrison had to decide on, she’d reasonably struggle Julianna Pena for the title.
Harrison (17-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) is probably one struggle away from cementing herself as No. 1 contender if she will get previous Ketlen Vieira (14-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) Oct. 5 at UFC 307 in Salt Lake Metropolis.
Within the nights co-headliner, bantamweight champion Raquel Pennington (16-8 MMA, 13-5 UFC) defends her belt towards Peña (11-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC). Regardless of competing on the identical evening, Harrison is able to leap in as a reserve.
“If a kind of b*tches will get sick or harm or injured, I’ll take that struggle on 30 seconds’ discover,” Harrison advised Grind Metropolis Media. “I’m prepared. (I’m the) greatest on the earth. I’m prepared, so let’s go.”
Harrison says she’d take extra pleasure in preventing former champion Peña than Pennington.
“To have a choice would imply that I’ve an emotion,” Harrison stated. “I don’t care. I actually don’t care. The aim is the belt. But when we’re speaking about Kayla, the psychopath, in fact I might reasonably put an elbow via Julianna’s cranium than Raquel’s. Julianna’s face is annoying. In fact I might decide that face – in fact.”
No matter what transpires at UFC 307, Harrison desires to make a fair greater assertion towards Vieira than she did over Holly Holm at UFC 300.
“I would like blood on the canvas this time,” Harrison stated. “I wish to go on the market and dominate from bell to bell. I wish to instill my will, and I wish to break Ketlen Vieira. I would like her to beg, I would like her to stop, and I would like it to be by KO, TKO or submission.”
