Earlier this year, in an interview with 'The Schmo', PFL fighter Kayla Harrison stated that she would have to beat both Amanda Nunes and Cris Cyborg to overtake Henry Cejudo as the combat sports GOAT:

"[Cejudo] should know I'm coming for the title of greatest combat sports athlete ever... [To get that title] I think I would definitely have to beat Cyborg. I think I would really like to fight Amanda, beat Amanda."

The American Top Team pupil accepted that she would have to win a couple more major combat sports titles to match Cejudo's accomplishments, which include an Olympic gold and two UFC belts:

"I have to win a couple more titles. He has one gold medal, I have two. He has two UFC belts, I have two PFL belts, but if I have belts in every major organization or beat champions from every major organization then does that make me the greatest of all time?"
