At UFC 316, Kayla Harrison will look to realize her dream to be a UFC champion in her third fight in the Octagon.
The former PFL star arrived in the promotion with incredibly high expectations, in which some believed that Harrison is already the best female hunter in the world.
On June 7, she will look at Bantrone Bantamweight Champion Julianna Pena before she goes to Amanda Nunes, who looms up about the Co-Main event of UFC 316.
The first major obstacle for the challenger has already been released, because Harrison successfully hit 135 pounds for the first time in her career.
In addition to focusing UFC Gold for the first time, the former two-time Olympic champion wants to arrange a bet she has done a long time before she signed with the MMA leader.

Kayla Harrison reveals bets with Henry Cejudo to dethrones him as the greatest battle patle of all time
In a recent interview with Daniel Cormier during Fight Week, Kayla Harrison revealed details of a bet she made with 'Toolbox' Henry Cejudo.
'Triple C' has long claimed that he has kept the biggest combat athlete of all time that two UFC titles at the same time held as a former Olympic gold medal winner in struggling.
Harrison, who has two Olympic gold in Judo, wants to take that place from him after he has told Cejudo about her UFC ambitions at all in 2020.

The Bantamweight Challenger title told the story again to Cormier and stated that Cejudo was hesitant to agree in the beginning with the bet, with push-ups on the line.
She eventually convinced the former UFC champion to shake her hand when offering him even better chances, in which she bets 1000 push-ups to his 100 if she couldn't achieve her goals.
“We bet years ago, before I ever signed at the UFC, and Khabib [Nurmagomedov] Was there, there were a bunch of guys. He spoke about S – about judo versus struggling and talking about how he is the greatest combat athlete of all time … so I had something like that: 'Okay, listen. I bet you bet 100 on each time that when I am a two-time Olympic champion, I will win the PFL belt twice. I'm going to the UFC, I'm going to win the UFC Riem, I'm going to defend it, then I will be the greatest combat athlete of all time. '' '
Khabib Nurmagomedov trolled Henry Cejudo before admitted that he is the greatest battle patle of all time
The conversation to which Kayla Harrison refers was recorded on the camera by 'Anatomy of a Fighter' in a video posted on YouTube in March 2020.
A judo versus struggle debate was performed by people like Khabib Nurmagomedov, Henry Cejudo, Harrison, Frankie Edgar, Kamaru Usman, Justin Gaethje, Islam Makhakev and others.
During the conversation, Cejudo looked at Nurmagomedov for his approval and asked the UFC legend who the greatest combat athlete of all time is, but he did not get the response he was looking for.
“Daniel Cormier! DC brother, now you know. If you don't know, you know now.”
Nurmagomedov eventually admitted that Cejudo is the correct answer before he jokes that Cormier could still catch up with him.
“But please, you have time brother. You are only 50 years old, please. Let's take brother, Olympic Games, take the medal.”
Before Cejudo Harrison's hand shook at the end of the video to confirm the bet, Nurmagomedov warned him that what Harrison suggested was a real opportunity.
