UFC 300’s Kayla Harrison assures ‘everything is dialed in’ with cut to bantamweight

LAS VEGAS – Kayla Harrison is worry-free ahead of what is perceived to be the biggest challenge of her professional MMA career.

Yes, Harrison (16-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is facing a legend and former champion in Holly Holm, and she’s also debuting on arguably the biggest stage in UFC history thus far, UFC 300. Despite all those challenges, many believe Harrison’s toughest battle will be on Friday morning, when the fighters are forced to hit the scales for the official weigh-ins.

Harrison will be debuting at 135 pounds, after fighting most of her career at 155 pounds, including a one-off at featherweight. Despite the big cut, Harrison is confident ahead of her UFC debut.
