As she prepares for her highly anticipated UFC debut, Kayla Harrison isn’t holding back. The two-time Olympic gold medalist and two-time PFL champion has issued a bold warning to UFC bantamweight champion Raquel Pennington, suggesting that Pennington should be concerned about her arrival in the octagon.
Pennington, who is gearing up for her first title defense against Julianna Peña, recently expressed reservations about Harrison potentially being fast-tracked to a title shot without earning her place in line. However, Harrison is determined to prove her worth and make a statement in her upcoming bout against former champ Holly Holm at UFC 300 on April 13 in Las Vegas.
Emphasizing her impressive record and achievements, Harrison believes she has what it takes to dominate the bantamweight division. Despite Pennington’s concerns, Harrison remains focused on her own journey, stating that if she were in Pennington’s shoes, she’d be “scared sh*tless” of facing her.
With tensions rising ahead of her UFC debut, all eyes will be on Harrison as she looks to solidify her place in the division and position herself for a shot at the title.
