Former two time PFL champion Kayla Harrison will be making her UFC debut at UFC 300, facing former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Holly Holm.
One fight that many fans wanted to see was Cris Cyborg versus Harrison, but PFL CEO Peter Murray says Harrison chose not to make that bout happen.
“We’re disappointed that fight between Cyborg and Kayla did not happen,” Murray said in Wednesday’s press conference (transcript via Farah Hannoun of MMA Junkie). “Kayla chose not to make it happen and move on to her next chapter.”
Cyborg has stated in the past that Harrison has turned down the chance to fight her, but Harrison has also said the same of Cyborg.
Even though the fight won’t be happening as of now, Murray still wished Harrison the best as she makes her journey to the UFC.
“Listen, we wish Kayla well,” Murray said. “She’s a two-time champion with us, women’s 155, and she’s moving on to UFC. She’s going to be on a historic card, which I believe is a testament to the level and quality of talent in the PFL, so we wish her well.”
