Kayla Harrison is confident that she only needs two more impressive victories to be considered as the best female fighter in history.
Kayla Harrison, who joined the UFC in April last year, has had the opportunity to show off her exemplary MMA abilities to a larger fanbase. She has seen her popularity grow.
And this past June, she realized her dreams when she became the new women’s bantamweight champion after dominating Julianna Pena on her way to a second round submission win.
Harrison has been a near-perfect athlete in all three of her UFC fights. She is now on track to become one of the best female athletes ever.

Harrison believes she is two wins away from becoming the women’s GOAT
Harrison won the 135lb championship earlier this year. He then faced the former queen of the division Amanda Nunes. The two have been locked in a feud between them for many years.
The two are expected to clash at UFC 324 on January 24, in what will be the first event of the promotion’s new deal with Paramount.
Bloody Elbow has exclusively revealed in its exclusive interview that the champion believes that it is only two more wins before she can cement her legacy as one of the greatest female fighters of all time.
Valentina Shevchenko, who successfully defended the 125lb title a couple of weeks ago, hinted afterward at a possible future fight with Harrison.
“When I beat Amanda (and Shevchenko), that will make me the greatest of all time for a finite period of time, and then the next Amanda, the next Valentina, the next Kayla will come and stand on my shoulders.
“There are so many women whose shoulders I am standing on right now, I think Joanna Jedrzejczyk is one of the greatest of all time, it’s subjective and my goal, yes, is to hit that mark for, maybe it’s a day, maybe it’s a week, who knows, I just wanna see how far I can go, just for fun.”
