Kayla Harrison Looking to Book Another Fight Before Year Ends
Follow Us
PFL women’s lightweight champion Kayla Harrison is looking to fight again in 2020. The two-time Olympic gold medalist made her Invicta FC debut in a Featherweight bout against Courtney King last weekend. She put in a dominant performance as she finished her opponent in the second round.
Due to the pandemic, Harrison hasn’t been able to compete under the PFL banner this year as the promotion suspended its 2020 season. The 30-year-old Harrison is currently undefeated in her pro-MMA career and is looking to get another win this year.
Brett Okamoto from ESPN MMA took to Twitter to update the community on Harrison’s future. He tweeted, “PFL’s Kayla Harrison is trying to book another fight in 2020. Per her manager Ali Abdelaziz, Kayla has permission to fight in Titan FC in December, if they can find an opponent. Abdelaziz told me he’ll help pay her opponent to make it happen.”

While Harrison fights in the lightweight division of the PFL, the UFC does not possess a 155 lbs category for female fighters. Having made her featherweight debut at Invicta, Harrison proved that she could get down to 145. This left fans hopeful of a match-up with UFC queen, Amanda Nunes.

The UFC women’s featherweight division was created to incorporate Cris ‘Cyborg’ into the promotion. However, with Cyborg now having made the move to Bellator, 145 at the UFC seems to be lacking the talent to test Nunes for her title.
