‘That Would Be Terrible S**tty’- Kayla Harrison on a Potential Fight With Her Teammate and UFC Champion Amanda Nunes

The two-time Olympic gold medalist, Kayla Harrison, claims it will be just business if she ever fights Amanda Nunes. Harrison is one of the best female fighters in the MMA. She is fresh from her recent submission win over Taylor Guardado. With this win, Harrison won the 2021 PFL Women’s Lightweight Tournament.

Interestingly, the 31-year-old has entered free agency with her latest tournament win. Ever since then, she has been in the headlines and many fans are speculating as to who she will face next.

In a recent interview with MMA Junkie, John Morgan asked her about a potential clash with the UFC, two-division champion Amanda Nunes. The PFL champion carefully responded to the question.

While showing respect towards ‘Lioness,’ Harrison claimed a fight with her would be a positive thing for her MMA resume. She said, “I love Amanda. And I think she is amazing. Personally, I don’t want to pi*s off all our teammates and coaches. Everyone have to like pick a side. That would be terrible, s**tty.”

“Of course, the greatest compliment I can give to Amanda is that I want to fight her. But I want to fight her and then, like, we all go out to eat after, you know? Like, there’s no animosity. It’s not personal out there, it’s just business, and it’s not done with malicious intention.”

“I consider it an honor to be mentioned in the same sentence as her. You know, she’s the greatest of all time for a reason. And I put a lot of respect on that name, and I don’t call people the greatest of all time lightly, so it’s nothing but love for me.”

Will Kayla Harrison vs Amanda Nunes Happen

‘Lioness’ is arguably the greatest women’s fighter. She has a professional fighting record of 21-4 under her name. Furthermore, Nunes reigns both the bantamweight and featherweight divisions of UFC.

On the other hand, the PFL champion has an undefeated record of 12-0 under her belt. Interestingly, both the fighters are from the same team ‘American Top Team.’ Talking about the fight, as aforementioned Harrison is a free agent and is waiting to sign a deal.

Meanwhile, Nunes is set to defend her bantamweight title against Julianna Pena at UFC 269. The fight will feature as a co-main event on the card. However, after this fight, Nunes might opt for the trilogy bout with the UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko.
