Kayla Harrison appears close to making a choice with the next step of her MMA career. Realistically, she has three options next, move to Bellator, sign with the UFC, re-sign with PFL.

Kayla Harrison recently spoke with MMAJunkie and revealed that she had received an offer from the UFC. The timing of the deal was an interesting one for the PFL tournament winner.

“I got the offer from the UFC. I know what it is. I think timing-wise, because of certain things that are gonna happen with Amanda [Nunes] and Julianna [Peña] etc…” Harrison said. “Timing is kind of everything in this sport, so PFL’s definitely the front-runner. Bellator, again, we had spoken to. I don’t know the exact details of what was said between Ali and them, but I know what I had proposed, so, it doesn’t look like that’s gonna—we’ll see.”

Amanda Nunes' loss to Julianna Pena certainly could have changed her thoughts about the UFC. She was asked about it but confirmed it hadn't changed anything.

“Not really, I was bummed for my teammate that night, there’s a viral video of me screaming something like, ‘Fuck!’ But it was mostly ’cause I was in shock and bummed for her. But what Amanda does with her career has no barring on my career and I respect her, I have a ton of respect for her as a fighter, as a mom, as a human being, but my journey is my journey.”

The MMA world will have to wait to figure out what exactly is next for Kayla Harrison. Many want her in the UFC but PFL seems like the most likely option currently.
