Where is the line between determined and dangerous? Resolute and reckless?
Reigning UFC women’s bantamweight champion, Kayla Harrison, will once again “torture” herself in order to make the 135-pound limit, the highest weight class available for female fighters.
Jaded fight fans are probably used to it by now.
UFC half-heartedly attempted a featherweight class, only to watch it wither and die — and I’m cynical enough to believe it was just an excuse to say, “Hey, we tried!”
Harrison, who once ruled the
women’s lightweight division, needs to hit 135 pounds on the nose when she faces former two-division champion, Amanda Nunes, for the UFC 324 championship co-main event on Jan. 24 in Las Vegas.
The 35 year-old Olympian already looks drained and miserable judging by the video in her Instagram stories.
Harrison (19-1) claims “God did that” when asked about the UFC 316 weight cut that left her “unrecognizable,” which may explain the cross she’s wearing in her latest video.
