Kayla Harrison vs. Cris Cyborg? PFL executive proposes settling ‘this nonsense’ with Bellator’s Scott Coker

PFL founder and chairman Donn Davis doesn’t seem to appreciate Bellator president Scott Coker’s implication about the league in the wake of re-signing top star Kayla Harrison.

After months of speculation, Harrison’s free agency finally came to an end this week after she signed a new multiyear contract to return to the PFL. Bellator, along with the UFC, bid for Harrison’s services, but it was Bellator that made the strongest push with a lucrative offer that Harrison accepted. However, the PFL had the right to match any offers, and it did, which is why Harrison will remain with the promotion.

Coker was eager to make a super fight between two-time PFL women’s lightweight champion Harrison and Bellator featherweight champ Cris Cyborg. With Harrison re-joining PFL, Coker expressed disappointment and questioned what the PFL had to offer her in terms of intriguing matchups.
