Kayla Harrison to fight for Bellator MMA?
Bellator MMA President Scott Coker is quite interested in having Harrison fight against some of the promotion’s greatest fighters.
He spoke about Harrison in a recent interview and had great things to say about her. He said, “This girl is a force to be reckoned with. But I just want to let her know that we are gonna start talking to Ali and that we are serious and that we’ll do our best to try to put a deal together to have her come over here. So, she can fight Cyborg and some of the other girls we have in the roster.”
Speaking about Cyborg’s interest in fighting Harrison, Coker said, “This is something that, you know, she’s, she’s fine with. If you get on the roster, then let’s get it on and that’s her attitude.”
Scott Coker surely is enthusiastic about getting Harrison on board. If he manages to do so, MMA fans around the world could get to see brutal wars in the ring.
Just like Harrison, Cris Cyborg has remained a very dominant fighter. With an impressive record of 25 wins and 2 losses, she can be an extremely tough competition for Harrison. With two such dominant fighters together in the ring, something spectacular will surely take place.
Do you think Kayla Harrison will agree to fight Bellator MMA’s best fighters? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
