On June 7, 2025, Kayla Harrison became the UFC women’s bantamweight champion of the world after submitting Julianna Peña in the second round. The moments following were a bit of a whirlwind, but then, everything fell back into place and back to business as usual.
“That's the beautiful thing about my life,” Harrison said. “I think that on Saturday night, I'm kissing Dana's forehead, and I'm wrapping the belt around Trump, and I'm facing off with Amanda (Nunes), and literally Sunday night, my son is like, ‘Mom, where's my French fries?’ You know, so it's like, back to life as normal.
