Kayla Harrison suggests interim title fight vs. Julianna Peña if UFC champ Raquel Pennington injured

Kayla Harrison is ready to fight for a UFC title – even if it’s got an interim tag attached to it.

Harrison (17-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) impressed in her octagon debut when she ran through former champion Holly Holm for a second-round submission Saturday at UFC 300.

The two-time Olympic gold medalist judoka and former PFL champion said she’s heard rumblings that UFC bantamweight champ Raquel Pennington is injured. So in the meantime, Harrison has a proposition: She believes Julianna Pena (11-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) would make for a great interim title fight June 29 at UFC 303.
