Just days after ascending to the bantamweight throne at UFC 316, Kayla Harrison has been warned to avoid an expected super fight with the returning Amanda Nunes next — with Octagon alum, Demetrious Johnson claiming a pairing with the Brazilian is a “very, very bad idea.
Harrison, who improved her Octagon record to 3-0 in just over a year over the weekend, secured the bantamweight crown at the first time of asking — submitting Julianna Pena.
And toppling the two-time bantamweight champion, Ohio grappling ace, Harrison asserted her dominance early through her wrestling, eventually forcing a buzzer-beating second round kimura submission to win the crown.
