Somehow, Someway Kayla Harrison Makes Weight For UFC 300
She did it. She somehow made weight.
Kayla Harrison was announced as a new signing in the UFC just a couple of months ago, but to everyone's surprise, her debut was set to be at the 135-pound division.
The UFC has completely gotten rid of their 145-pound women's division after Amanda Nunes retired (it was created to make her a double champ), which would've been a drop in weight for Kayla. While in the PFL, Kayla Harrison fought at 155 pounds! She was even "big" for that division thanks to her size and muscle composition.
When her fight against Holly Holm was announced, many people did not think she would be able to make 135. Thanks to "science" Kayla has proved all the haters wrong. Here she is at this morning's weigh in:
Compared to how she looked at her last PFL weigh-in (155 pounds):
As you can see above, Kayla getting down to 135 is insane.
She takes on Holly Holm tomorrow night. If she wins, all indications are she will be fighting for the 135-belt.
