Following her departure from PFL, Harrison signed with the multi-billion dollar organization and made her octagon debut against former champion Holly Holm at the historic UFC 300 pay-per-view card, securing a second round submission win.

Aspinall, who was present at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for UFC 300, recently posted a video on his YouTube channel and discussed Harrison's impressive build, while lauding Harrison's wrestling prowess:

''When we were at UFC 300, she [Harrison] was unbelievable. She looked fantastic against Holly Holm but not only that, what we could see and the people on the TV won't know this obviously. We were in a VIP box that was miles up in the air, honestly you could see the definition on her shoulders and biceps from the VIP box...honestly she is absolutely jacked...I think that strong base that she's got...if she gets close to you, if she gets anywhere near you you're going on your back simple as that...it's like, she's on top she's like immovable object.''

Aspinall discussed Dvalishvili's capacity to go full twenty-five minutes in the cage, saying:

''Merab just doesn't stylistically match up with anybody else in the division...He just keeps going, won't stop...He never stops working for 25 minutes...To me, [Merab] looks unstoppable right now. And 'The Machine' is the best nickname that you can have for a guy like this... I want Merab's cardio. Merab, show me what's what. Get me in that kind of shape. I'm ready for it." [5:56]
