Rumored Kayla Harrison has apparently signed with the UFC

[wwkirk]

As long as PFL is willing and able to keep shelling out a million per year to her, I don't see the UFC being willing to match or exceed that.

I have no idea what Daukaus' game was.

DONT MATTER JULIANNA PENA IS THE GREATEST WMMA FIGHTER OF ALL TIME AND WILL BEAT THEM ALL WITH SLOPPY JABS AND WILLPOWER DETERMINATION WHATEVER SHE SAID POST FIGHT UFC 269
(I DO NOT WATCH WMMA)

lol you win

The UFC is losing the battle!

 

[Shaquitas EBT]

Just did my research and found she's basically Ronda Rousey skill wise, but less entertaining fights, less attractive, less charisma, and fights in a defunct UFC weight class.

Even the most hardcore WMMA fans should not give a shit.

Also...

not even a defunct weight class,she's a 155er

She can make more money in PFL right? I mean, good luck for her to make 1,000,000$ in UFC if Dana barely could pay Francis that amount of money.

Well said @Yrat. The UFC is a joke. You're coming along!

Kayla was a way more accomplished judoka than Ronda. And Kayla may not be great looking but Ronda really wasn’t either.

The $1 million payday was the culmination of 4 fights though. Her base pay was $100,000 - $ 125,000. So, $1,400,000 - 1,500,000. She can definitely make more than that fighting 4 times a year with ppv points in the UFC. Even a $400,000 contract without ppv points would equal out with her PFL pay, even factoring in sponsorships. I agree that the UFC should pay their fighters more, but if Francis fought 4 times a year under his current contract, not including ppv points, he’d be making $2,400,000.

Fighting who though? Her weight division is barren.

Which UFC champs fight 4 times a year? Andi n Kayla's case, it would be close to impossible due to lack of opponents.

 

[Prelimtapper]

Are they going to create a new weight division for her? Like they did for Cyborg

Mega prediction: UFC will introduce a 105 division

This has already been posted about and is happening. someone has insider info and a fmale 105lbs division is going to be starting in UFC sometime in late Spring or early Summer.
Not my info...just passing on what I read.

Several of the women at 135lbs are large for the division so they could easily move up for her even if it was just for a short while (and they're decent fighters too).
