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

[Pierced7681]

And he wishes he kept doing it to Holly after this happened:

gnarly angle, herb really let Honda be a warrior there

Dana is 100% correct. Anyone disagreeing is clearly just a hater of Dana and successful people in general. 90 percent of liberals are jealous, bitter, professional failures, and live in the basement. Facts.

Nobody cares about you being and/or supporting a "real, successful American," nobody cares about you being a conservative, and nobody cares about your inaccurate blanket opinions on liberals (to an extent I agree, they do suck). Nobody provoked you into being political ITT, fuck off to The War Room with that shit. I like my MMA politics free.

Without a doubt, this is the greatest WMMA KO of all time. Quality of opponent, difficulty, the shock, brutality, everything checks the mark. Even the two landed hammer fists at the end are a nice little touch. Ronda's breakdown and fall from grace after this, yeah. Best WMMA KO of all time, with Nunes-Cyborg a somewhat distant second.

On topic, if I were a betting man, I'd take a Nunes over Harrison by a slight margin dependent on a finish inside the distance. I wouldn't bet on it if it went to decision, 15 to 25 minutes for it to eventually hit the ground is too much time. That said, if Kayla could actually make 135 Dana would sign her in a heartbeat, but unfortunately at her current weight she truly is better staying at PFL. He may be kind of right, but he's still full of shit.

If anyone actually watches the clip it's not as bad as the quote(since the quote isnt the full interview). Hes saying shes getting paid a shit load of money to fight much easier competition and the smart move for her is to keep fighting those girls for a high pay check before coming into the UFC. Basically get as much experience as you can while you are making bank. Remember shes beating up chicks who have losses to girls like Alexis Davis.

Ironically Amanda Nunes has a loss to Alexis Davis if memory serves me right.

What is so weird is KO's kinda rarely happen in WMMA, never mind brutal head kick ones with hammer fists that put out the opponent cold, and it all happened when the lights were brightest with the invincible Ronda at her peak. It almost seemed surreal in the way it happened. It was probably the most gratifying moment for the fans in UFC history, considering how hard they were gassing Ronda up, her ego, Rogan saying she would beat UFC male bantamweights and Floyd, the 'once ever' bullshit, and the fashion she was KO'd in.

It's hard to imagine Harrison would do worse than Ronda vs Nunes, but she is a judoka specialist and would have the same issues getting in. Dana can do what he wants, just as he started 145 for Cyborg when Ronda went AWOL pillow face, and if Dana wants he could start a 145/do even a higher catch weight. Harrison definitely has way more marketability than Nunes, but I am not sure she could get thru her and get the clinch. Obviously she would beat her if it was a grappling match, but it is not, and even Nunes can hold her own in the grappling. It will all depend what Dana wants and ho much he is willing to pay. If i were him, Id try to make the match, as it is probably the biggest in WMMA now and who else does Nunes have? Shev 3? Then who?

 

[Noraaq]

Yea stay away from the killers like Dumont and Megan Anderson

 

[cheesus]

He makes a fair point but it's obvious why he is saying it, don't pretend like she isn't a high level fighter and wouldn't beat the majority of the UFC roster. Don't trash her career or what PFL is doing just because you don't want to pay the money.

 

[Masturbin]

Let's be honnest 145 is already a shit division but 155 level is like pure garbage.

No one cares about women 155 Shield and Harrison should slim down to less freak women weight

 

[TITS]

Dana still can't pronounce Namajunas correctly after all these years.

She fought an ufc 135 reject to win her 155 tournament.
The ufc does not even have a proper 145 division why would they open a 155 division for Harrison?

 

[Kaiserjuan]

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

Felicia "The Sniper" Spencer

 

[SammyG420]

Even if was years (roids*) ago, Amanda was mounted by Cat Zingano. If Kayla gets ahold of Amanda it would probably be the same result honestly. Amanda's stand up is overrated

Fair point

 

[ufc_vs_pride]

Dana is right, Who has Kayla beat in PFL to deserve huge payday from the UFC?

 

[lsa]

She trains with Amanda so who was she supposed to fight anyway?
There is nobody better to stay and make that sweet mil.

Kayla Harrison & PFL Founder Donn Davis respond to Dana White (0:07-2:28):

 

[Etherized]

Nice veins and traps there. Maybe she should stay.

 

[markys00]

less money for much tougher fighters. dana is absolutely right
she'll never get this kinda of money with the goof.

 

[Doctor Grudge]

Shes' at the very least a tangible draw for the PFL.

She's in a weight class that has little competition in general, don't think that would change if she went to the UFC.

Regarding Kayla, she's 5'8" and all her medals were at 170. Not sure how much she can slim down.

 

[El Fernas]

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

Nunes is probably close if not above that per fight (as a champion with PPV points), not by a lot tho but still, both are crushing cans but i guess Nunes is still facing much better opposition than Harrison.
