UFC 316 could see a new name join Valentina Shevchenko and Zhang Weili at the top of the Pound-for-Pond Ladder.
After the victory of Shevchenko over Manon Fiorot to successfully defend the flight weight title for the first time since the start of a second stint on the throne, 'Bullet' has cemented its place as a P4P number one.
Close behind her potential next opponent, straw weight Queen Zhang. After defending the belt three times since the start of her second division rule, Zhang Shevchenko exclaimed to pursue a two -weight glory.
But although many have branded that as a potential superfight between the two best women who are currently active in MMA, a renowned coach sees things differently.
Kayla Harrison's claim on the best female fighter -hunter crown supported by coach Mike Brown
During an interview with MMA fights, the American top team coach Mike Brown had some of the upcoming attacks by his hunters.
The next high-profile outing for an ATT-striking will be Kayla Harrison's first UFC title shot. Harrison will challenge Julianna Pena on UFC 316, where she will arrive as an important favorite.
The chances are apparently no surprise for Brown, who insisted that Harrison is the best female hunter on earth.
“I'm glad it's finally here. We knew that this day would come,” said Brown about Harrison's title shot. “It's a bit extra cool when she started her career with us. She started her training at Att from Zero Fights.
'Of course she had a decorated judo background. But as far as MMA goes, she has been to us [from the start]. She is the best in the world, and it's time to show everyone.
“She will do what is needed to show the world that it is the best,” Brown added. “I think she's the best female hunter on the planet.”
Kayla Harrison wants to prove her greatness against the goats of the consensus ladies
More than just becoming a UFC champion and setting himself as the best active hunter, Harrison wants to prove himself by a great time.
Talking about Harrison and Amanda Nunes Fighting has been around since they were teammates at ATT.
When 'The Lioness' left towards the end of her career because of the presence of the American, the basis for a future collision appeared.
Harrison, for example, will continue to throw down with the Brazilian legend.
“I have to go on Julianna, but that was always the fight I wanted,” Harrison told Mike Bohn of MMA Junkie.
“I never meant it in a disrespectful way. I never meant as:” I'm better than you. ” I just think she's the biggest of all time.
“May we share the cage with respect and dignity, and may the best woman win.”
Nunes' retirement briefly took the Harrison fight off the table, but it did not take long before the former Tweedivisie champion makes a career U-turn.
Although unconfirmed, 'The Lioness' is expected to challenge the winner of the UFC 316-CO-Main event on Saturday between her former double opponent and former teammate.
