Kayla Harrison has issued a warning to Henry Cejudo that she is coming for the title of the greatest combat sports athlete ever.

There had been speculation that Harrison would move to Bellator for a potential superfight with Cris Cyborg down the line. Another option was the UFC and a future superfight against Amanda Nunes. However, 'Doug' has finally re-signed with the PFL.

Cejudo, who has been training with Cris Cyborg, recently took a shot at Harrison claiming that the Brazilian would be favored in that potential contest.

In an interview with 'The Schmo', Kayla Harrison hit back at 'Triple C':

"I mean he made a little half-as*** apology online as like... 'Oh congratulations on your contract'... He should know that I'm coming for the title of greatest combat sports athlete ever. I think I definitely have to beat Cyborg and I think I'm gonna have to beat Amanda. I gotta win a couple more titles... If I beat champions from every organization, does that make me the best in the world?"

Henry Cejudo is the only person to win an Olympic gold medal and a UFC title. He is the fourth UFC fighter to hold titles in two different weight classes simultaneously and the second to defend titles in two different divisions. These accomplishments have made him arguably the greatest combat sports athlete of all time.

If the two-time Olympic gold medallist Harrison beats the champion from every major MMA organization, it will be tough not to give her that accolade.


The PFL welcomes the idea of Kayla Harrison and Cris Cyborg superfight

Kayla Harrison is staying put in the PFL. However, that doesn’t mean we won’t see her taking on fighters from other organizations.

Things never appeared to get too serious when it came to Harrison joining the UFC. However, Bellator made a serious push for the American that saw their offer matched by the PFL. 'Doug' ultimately decided to re-sign with the PFL.

In an interview on the Fight Nation podcast, PFL president Ray Sefo stated that a cross-promotion fight for Harrison was not out of the question:

“Me personally, I don’t think that’s an issue. I know that Scott [Coker] has done a few co-promotion stuff with other promotions. He’s a good friend of mine, nothing but love and respect for Scott. Anything is possible. I think it’s just a matter of the two teams sitting down at a table and making sure that it works for everybody."

Check out Ray Sefo's comments on the Fight Nation podcast:

Bellator has been known to play well with others around the globe. The most notable partnership is with Japan’s Rizin Fighting Federation with whom Bellator has exchanged several fighters since 2018.

Fans might get to see the Harrison vs. Cyborg superfight after all.
