Cris Cyborg accuses Kayla Harrison of turning down PFL fight offer
Cris Cyborg claims Kayla Harrison said no to a potential fight between the two.
The Bellator women’s featherweight champion took to X on Wednesday and accused Harrison of declining an offer from the PFL.

Harrison did not immediately respond to MMA Junkie’s request for comment

This is the latest of many public jabs thrown in the Cyborg-Harrison saga, which has played out over the last few years. Cyborg, who’s widely considered the greatest female featherweight in MMA history, has been linked to Harrison for quite some time, as Harrison has excelled in her transition from Olympic judo to MMA, winning the PFL lightweight title two separate times.
