Dana White recently gave an interview to TSN. At one point, he talked about Kayla Harrison. The UFC president suggested that Harrison should stay in the PFL and keep running through the competition there.
According to White, with fighters like Valentina Shevchenko and Amanda Nunes on the roster, the level of competition in the UFC is really high.
“If I was her [Kayla Harrison], I’d stay right where she is and keep picking off the people over there. When you come here, you know, Amanda Nunes is no joke. Shevchenko is no joke. Rose Namajunas is no [joke]. These are all the best women in the world. These are the best female fighters in the world. I don't blame her. I would stay there and keep fighting the type of women she’s fighting there before I would come here and fight an Amanda Nunes. That’s for damn sure.”
