After her superb victory over Mariana Morais, Harrison appeared for a post-fight interview. She answered a question regarding her future goals.

“My goal is to be the greatest of all time,” she said. “She is currently the greatest of all time. The biggest compliment I could give to Amanda is I hope to fight her one day. That’s the best compliment I could give her because that means she’s the GOAT. She’s what we’re all chasing.”

However, she had mentioned that she is currently focussing on her PFL career. Her aim right now is to compete in a division full of talented fighters.

“But the goal is to be the greatest of all time, so whoever I have to fight to do that, that’s what I want to do,” she concluded.

Harrison vs Nunes is one of the best fights that is right now under the shadows of the future. Since Nunes is currently looking immovable from UFC, Harrison has to make her jump in order to give fans a dream matchup.
