Cris Cyborg discusses Kayla Harrison re-signing with PFL after rumored fight: “I knew she would stay, it was all marketing”

Bellator women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg didn’t believe she was ever going to fight Kayla Harrison.

The two women’s champions were in discussions for a fight earlier this year. Following Harrison’s contract expiring with PFL, there was widespread talk that she was going to sign with either Bellator or the UFC. As a result, she was quickly linked to a bout with Cyborg. Harrison even challenged the Bellator featherweight champion to a gym fight on social media at one point.
