Kayla Harrison is currently the hottest free agent in MMA as she gets to decide between UFC, Bellator, and PFL. There has been a lot of talk of who she should fight between Cris Cyborg and Amanda Nunes.

Kayla Harrison trains with Amanda Nunes and it has made the subject of a potential fight in the UFC a tricky one. Despite training with her, Harrison would still fight her.

“Fighting Amanda, it was something I wanted…it’s such a weird thing,” she said via MMAFighting. “Like, I don’t want to fight her, but I want to fight her. I’m in a position where I want to be the best – she’s the best. It’s not personal, it’s just business. But I also love Amanda, and I think she’s a great person, think she’s a great mom, a great person, a great champion, I have nothing but good things to say about her, so is it like am I going to come out and say, ‘I want to fight Amanda?’

“My goal of being the best includes people like Amanda, includes people like Cyborg, includes the top people in the world. But I do believe that, given enough time and given enough space to run free, I can accomplish it with or without them. I think it’s ideal for the best fighters to fight against each other in the prime of their career. That’s what everyone wants to see, so I’m here for it.

“But me going to the UFC, or not going to the UFC, or staying in PFL, or going to Bellator, those things are personal. Those things are my decision and on my career, and it has nothing to do with Amanda, it has nothing to do with Cyborg. It’s about what I think is going to be best for me, my family, and my legacy. What I want to achieve in this sport and in this world, so I don’t think her losing affects that. I think I’m that going to shine no matter where I go or what I do. I believe in myself that much.”

A potential fight with Amanda Nunes in the UFC is one of the most attractive options for the judoka. Although a potential showdown with Cris Cyborg in Bellator is an attractive option.
