Outside of the PFL, no organization came closer to signing Kayla Harrison than Bellator. This led many fans to look forward to a potential bout between Harrison and Bellator's featherweight world champion Cris Cyborg. In fact, even though she's now signed elsewhere, there is still demand for this particular bout.

Cyborg and Harrison are inarguably the two biggest stars in women's MMA outside of the UFC. On top of that, Cyborg proved herself to be one of the most fearsome competitors in the UFC during her time there, only losing once inside the octagon. She is a world-class fighter and would provide a huge test for Harrison.

While this bout is likely no longer in play for the time being, we might not have to wait too long. Some are calling for an inter-promotional bout to facilitate this matchup. Alternatively, Cyborg is approaching the end of her Bellator contract and so could join Harrison in the near future in the PFL.


#1. Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes - UFC

A potential fight between Kayla Harrison and Amanda Nunes undoubtedly lost some shine when the latter lost to Julianna Peña at UFC 269. With that being said, Nunes remains the female GOAT of MMA in many people's eyes and should she beat Peña in their rematch, this would once again be huge.

On top of that, Nunes's loss led to her parting ways with the American Top Team gym. This is the same gym that Kayla Harrison trains at and so for some time this fight seemed impossible due to their relationship as teammates. Now that this is no longer the case, the path has been cleared for a potential bout.

This remains the biggest potential fight for Kayla Harrison that exists. For that to remain the case, both women will have to win their next few fights. If they are able to do so and Harrison does test free agency again, this fight would be one of the biggest in the history of women's MMA.
