Cris Cyborg thinks Kayla Harrison’s cutdown to bantamweight will negatively impact her speed.
Harrison (16-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) makes her 135-pound debut against former champion Holly Holm (15-6 MMA, 8-6 UFC) on April 13 at UFC 300 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The two-time Olympic gold medalist judoka and two-time PFL lightweight champion has predominantly fought at 155 pounds in career, although she competed once at featherweight and most recently in a 150-pound catchweight bout.
Bellator featherweight champion Cyborg flew to Albuquerque, N.M. to help Holm, whom she beat during her UFC tenure, prep for Harrison and questions if Harrison will be able to handle Holm’s speed.
