Harrison: “I Didn’t Come to MMA to Be Called Second After Nunes”

UFC fighter and two-time Olympic judo gold medalist Kayla Harrison recently discussed her aspiration to compete against former two-division champion Amanda Nunes.

Harrison shared her thoughts on a potential matchup, stating: “I’ve always dreamed of this fight, but I’ve never spoken about it disrespectfully. I truly believe she is the greatest of all time. And for me it’s obvious – she made herself.

But I didn’t come to this sport to be called second after Amanda. I hope we share the cage with respect and dignity. And may the best win.”
