Former UFC bantamweight champion Holly Holm stated last week that she has some concerns about Kayla Harrison’s debut at 135 pounds ahead of their showdown at UFC 300 in April.
Harrison has competed mostly as a lightweight in MMA, winning two PFL titles at 155 poiunds, once as a featherweight, and a late-notice fight at a 150-pound catchweight. At 42, Holm knows this is likely her final run at reclaiming UFC gold, but Harrison missing weight as she tries to cut 20 extra pounds for the first time could cause issues.
To be fair, Harrison hasn’t had a check mark go against her in that department, so it remains to be seen how this will play out. But does this fight booking between Harrison and Holm at all seem shaky, or are we comfortable with the matchup? Our “Spinning Back Clique” of Nolan King, Danny Segura and Brian “Goze” Garcia answer that with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia.
