Amanda Nunes’ title loss was a shock for her fans. But Julianna Peña succeeded in doing what many other fighters could not. As Peña ascended the bantamweight throne, tensions started to rise. With Peña occupying the title, many fans wonder if she will ever clash with Kayla Harrison.

Both the fighters have started taking jabs at each other. Peña called Harrison “the lesser of the training partners” , thus, implying that Harrison wasn’t as good as Nunes. The American fighter understandably was not happy with this.

In response to this, Harrison said (h/t MMA Fighting), “I think she should be careful. I think she needs to be careful about what she says and who she says it to. I’m not Conor McGregor. I don’t talk sh*t  just to talk sh*t. I have a lot of respect for her. I think she’s a good fighter. But this isn’t a joke, and you should be careful, because I don’t play those games.”

While Peña and Harrison might continue taking digs at each other, fans wonder what Conor McGregor might have to say about this.

Further, it seems Peña might not be that interested in a fight against Harrison. Peña referred to PFL as “B-league” and said, “I’m not paying too much attention to what she’s doing down there.”

Harrison, of course, disagreed and hit right back. She said, “I’m not a B-league fighter. I’m going to be the best in the world, and if you think that’s different, then step in the cage with me and find out.”

What’s next for Kayla Harrison?

As a free agent, Harrison has many lucrative opportunities available. Hence, if UFC is interested in getting her on board, a great contract would be required.
