Kayla Harrison leaning toward Julianna Peña to beat UFC champion Raquel Pennington

Kayla Harrison thinks UFC bantamweight champion Raquel Pennington will fall short in her first title defense.

Julianna Pena(11-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) revealed that her title fight with Pennington (16-8 MMA, 13-5 UFC) is expected to take place at UFC 307 on Oct. 5 in Salt Lake City. Harrison (17-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) is picking Peña to beat Pennington.

“That’s a tough call,” Harrison told MMA Junkie Radio. “I tend to go with grapplers, so I think Peña pulls it out, but it’s anybody’s fight. I’d fight both of them on the same night.”
