SUNRISE, Fla. – Kayla Harrison hasn’t fully given up hope of an eventual superfight against Cris Cyborg, but if it happens, it likely won’t be under the PFL’s banner.
Women’s featherweight champion Cyborg (26-2 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) re-signed with Bellator this past week in what the promotion called an “historic” deal. Terms were not disclosed. Cyborg most recently fought a little more than a year ago with a unanimous decision title defense against Arlene Blencowe at Bellator 279.
After her contract was up, she decided to explore free agency. The months-long process is thought to have included all major promotions, including her former UFC home. But ultimately, she returned to Bellator, which took the possibility of a fight against Harrison (15-1) in the PFL out of the equation.
