Not a killer blow but not ideal at the same time,”  “well, women’s bantamweight in the UFC just got a hell of a lot more interesting,” “damn this is a legit get for the UFC! Could be in store for more with Harrison to end the year!” “Amanda Nunes vs Kayla Harrison by the end of 2024,” and “Kayla Harrison must have watched that co-main event this past weekend and gone 135 ay oh go on then”

In conclusion even though she’s a big name in the MMA scene, and it’ll be exciting to see what she can do in the big leagues.
