Media Dana White on Kayla Harrison: "If I was her, I'd stay right where she is”

[estranged]

He’s not wrong tho…

 

[IMPmmath]

I dont think she can make 135 so who's she gonna fight in the UFC?
And her and Amanda train together so for me that takes something away from that fight anyway.

 

[Volumes]

Shut the fuck up Dana we all know that's just a shitty negotiation tactic

 

[JoeRowe]

Yeah Norma Dumont & Felicia Spencer would end Kayla with the quickness

 

[Hellowhosthat]

If Kayla can clinch up with Nunes then she wins imo. Depends if Nunes can hurt her badly enough before she can get to the clinch.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Although tbf in general if Red Goof acknowledges that a fighter outside the UFC exists then it usually means he's interested.

 

[Uber_Noober]

She’s gonna be in the AEW as soon as her mma career is over

 

[Tornikidou]

TRT Harrison

 

[Madeline Chelsea]

Aldana or GDR would ship her ass back to the B leagues. We never saw her fight a quality striker with power.

 

[Osiris3657]

I mean, is he wrong? She's a near lock for the $1MM payday every year over in the PFL and it hasn't been difficult.

That girl? Is fighting human corpses.

I never ever side with Dana but...that girl? Or whatever she is is fighting human corpses.

That isnt even can crushing i dont know what u can call that

 

[KOPPE]

she'll never get this kinda of money with the goof.

 

[HeDidn'tWantTheFight]

Dana's already doing the "she doesn't want the fight" tactic on a fighter who isn't even in the UFC yet

 

[The Chosen]

Shut the fuck up Dana we all know that's just a shitty negotiation tactic

Dana is so predictable. His negotiations just consist of trashing fighters to the media to justify paying them less lol... worst of all fans eat it up and start harassing fighters

He's lowkey taunting her, but he's not wrong. I said the same thing about MVP. Fight cans for crazy money and retire healthy.

Seems smart to me, risk/reward

 

[Hellowhosthat]

He's probably trying to play to her ego really. She's got competitive drive, she's a two time Olympic champion, for him to suggest she doesn't want to come and fight the best in the world is absurd when that's what she did in her sport for years.

 

[NoSmilez]

She is female Brock. She doesn't need a clinch to take a person down either. She has a power double and single that she uses. Her technique isn't clean like Ronda's. For her to be a breakout star in the UFC. She needs to lose a lot of weight to make 135. She is already over 30. She sort of needs to move quick or go to Bellator at 145. UFC 145 is a dead division. I don't think the PFL has the the budget to keep paying her that much every year.

"If Kayla can clinch up with Nunes then she wins imo"

What exactly does that mean though? Just clinch her against the fence for 5 rounds? Or use it to take her down?

I just don't think Nunes would accept being clinched for 5 rounds without adjusting

Take her down, I've never seen her fail to take someone down in the clinch and her ground and pound with legal elbows is nasty as fuck.
