Sean Strickland loves Kayla Harrison.
Below the PFL banner, Harrison grew to become an immediate sensation. Now, the two-time Olympic gold medalist is a bona fide famous person following her spectacular second-round end in opposition to Julianna Pena to seize the UFC bantamweight championship.
Contained in the cage, Harrison is an absolute beast, ending 14 of her 19 opponents. Nonetheless, it’s her look outdoors of the Octagon that Strickland has seemingly grow to be smitten with.
“I truly love Kayla Harrison,” Strickland advised MMA Junkie. “No, I truly, Kayla, you guys, don’t decide me once I say this, however whenever you see Kayla actual dolled up at a press convention, now and again I’m like, “Wait a minute. Who’s that?” And I’m, “Oh, f*ck, that’s Kayla. I hate myself.” However Kayla, I like you, man. Kayla’s a savage. I like Kayla. She is a savage.”
Harrison has not but booked her first title protection, although we already know that it’ll come in opposition to former two-division queen Amanda Nunes.
Even earlier than Harrison stepped contained in the Octagon at UFC 316, ‘The Lioness’ introduced that she was popping out of retirement to struggle the Olympian. Nunes added extra gas to the fireplace when she stepped contained in the cage for a pleasant faceoff together with her former American Prime Staff teammate.
When and the place their long-awaited conflict happens stays to be seen, however it’s already being hyped as one of the anticipated scraps in UFC historical past, no matter gender.
