Kayla Harrison addresses concern over bantamweight move in UFC 300 debut: ‘I don’t believe in cutting weight’

Ahead of her Octagon debut at UFC 300 – former two-time PFL (Professional Fighters League) lightweight tournament winner, Kayla Harrison has claimed she doesn’t “believe” in the process of cutting weight – ahead of her much-speculated debut cut to the bantamweight limit for her fight with ex-champion, Holly Holm.

Harrison, 33, a former two-time lightweight tournament winner and twice and Olympic gold medalist in Judo, was confirmed as the latest acquisition to the Octagon last month, with promotional CEO, Dana White confirming her landing in the organization against ex-titleholder, Holm – in a bantamweight first for the former.
