PFL boss teases super fight between women's champions Kayla Harrison and Cris Cyborg

PFL have welcomed a pay-per-view super fight between two-time women's lightweight champion Kayla Harrison and MMA icon Cris Cyborg.

Harrison, 32, is currently looking to become a three-time PFL champion as she faces Larrisa Pacheco for the third time at PFL 9 in London on August 20. The two-time Olympic gold medalist in judo has been heavily linked to fight Cyborg, 37, who currently holds the Bellator featherweight title and has also previously held the same belt in the UFC.

Before she resigned with the PFL in March, Harrison was backed to fight Cyborg but she opted to compete in her third and likely final season for the PFL instead. The promotion's founder, Donn Davis, has now teased a super fight between the pair whilst offering each fighter a guaranteed $1million purse plus a $2million bonus for the winner.
