Pennigton has the interim belt not Julianna Pena Harrison wants her 2nd fight in June for that title then that's between her + UFC to decide, Penningtons injury holdback could backtrack more wait for Pena as the no.1 contender for the Bantam Weight division match that was supposed to be planned for the summer, depending on how long the healing time takes for Pennigton to recover or what they can sort out + come up with but in her own words Julianna Pena seems interested in the Womens Bantam Weight Title specifically .

Love Kayla and very happy she’s in the ufc BUT let’s take it one day at a time. Rack up some more wins before she goes after the championship.
Wow Kayla is an amazing person. Her and Nunes would be the Bomb. An extremely focused Kayla could beat Amanda. It could go either way. What a fight that would be, I'd love to see it.
Kayla and Alex are prime examples of why they need to change how weigh-ins work. Being able to cut down and bulk up to 20+ lbs above the weight class is stupid. She looked huge compared to Holly.

Everyone has made great arguments in this comment section about this. I mean I have had to deal with this in martial arts tournaments. But it's starting to get kinda ridiculous. I love me some Kayla don't get me wrong, but to come in and weigh in at 135 and then come in there HUGE with 20 pounds and you are already looking superhuman strong is ridiculous. Holly is in incredible shape and is ripped to the bone but she looked like some random soccer mom in there with Kayla on the other hand looking like trt vitor Belfort. Something has to be done. Man that's a 135 vs a jacked 155. I mean what is that.
i watched her PFL replays UFC 300 seems like a lot of the same she over powers strikers judo throws them to the ground beats the crap out of them submits them over and over again like clock work UFC lucky to have her she appears to go for the gold, weight cut is crazy she is built traps upper back arms super wrestler chick

It is ridiculous fighters are allowed to fight so much heavier than their contract weight. Kayla was fighting at 135 pounds and walked into the cage at 160. How is this allowed.

Blot is a judoka, freestyle wrestler, and sambo competitor. Plus was trained in bjj( probably purple belt level) and Luta Livre for MMA.

What's the purpose of all the weight cutting, if the fighters just regain the weight before fight time? Why not adapt the weight for the fighters? I wonder how that would be done?
Kayla is a badass! I wish the ufc still had a 145 pound weight class!
Kayla is the only Ali client that goes with Ariel for interviewes she is cool
What an exciting fighter to now have in the UFC, I already want to see her fight for the title cuz she’s dangerous, and I can’t believe she made weight, that’s pretty crazy, I hate extreme weight cutting though,

Congrats to Kayla. What a way to make your UFC debut. UFC 300, against Holly Holm, former world champion and legend of the sport and Kayla dominated her. Kayla needs to be fighting for the title next. 100%. If she becomes champ, I hope Nunes comes back and fights her.

Have Amanda come back and fight Kayla at 145lb with or without belt. This is going to be the main event. I don’t think Kayla can make the weight of 135lb for championship match. As skinny as Kayla was this time, she weighed 136 lb, which still disqualified her for championship match. I don’t want Kayla to kill herself for weight cutting.
Does pena still fight? I thought she quit. I havnt seen her in like 2 years
She could lose a million but her name recognition/stock is going to skyrocket. Better make it worth it.
Kayla looks, talks, feels, and is a deserving Champ. Lover her in the UFC. Open 145 & let her destroy everyone
I spit out all my food when rogan cimpared her to Vitor belfort😂😂😂
Do Raquel vs Julianna and Kayla vs Amanda. Whoever wins Kayla vs Amanda is going to slaughter whoever wins vs Raquel and Julianna but there's not a lot of "big" WMMA fights without the title, Amanda and Kayla can change that
Loved her on impractical jokers
Poor Hudson
Nunes scared of kayla
This woman should be fighting for the belt. Just to understand how difficult it is, going from 155, pure muscles to 135 pure mucles, neither Raquel Pennington nor Grasso is going down to the division below them; and both have some healthy fats on their bodies, unlike life-long 155 pounder Ms. Olympian here.
For those that dont know, kayla ismanaged by Ali and most if Ali's dint go on ariels show hence ariels panick texts to kayla lol
Where is my WWE segment. I wanna hear news about triple h and captain marvel.
Damn and i thought khazmat was a weight bully, 20 pounds and probably at 170 on fight night shes bigger then cyborg 😂 she lost 155 guess she wanted to zero competition at 135 d3ad division instead of 155 pfl division

She will beat Julianna hands down
How you not love this woman. What an inspiration
I think she beats Nunes coming out of retirement.
This dudes tough
This division is so weak right now. Kayla is very safe. If UFC cannot temp Amanda to come back she is going to be safe for a very long time. She is huge, cuts a ton of weight, probably used to dancing with USADA her whole life as an olympian. Her striking is total joke, Holly in her prime would starch her, Amanda might still KHTFO, who else is left? Julianna Pena cannot come close to wrestling and laying on top of this woman to edge out a win so she is out for sure. Raquel 16 wins 8 losses, she will get mauled, so thats a no way...wow...so who is next? if USADA or age doesnt take her down, only an elite female striker can knock her out.
She destroys everyone in the bantamweight devision. Juliana peña was getting ragdolled by nunes. Imagine what she would do to her.
