At UFC 307, Raquel Pennington will defend that belt against the challenger Julianna Pena. Pena is a former champion herself, but lost the strap in a rematch with Amanda Nunes – the same woman she defeated to claim the gold.

In a recent interview, Harrison was asked about the possibility of Pena being an inactive champion if she does, in fact, win the belt again.

Harrison’s Pena worry

“I try not to [think about the long breaks] because control what you can control and trust the UFC, trust that they have a plan but yeah, that would really p*** me off. I’m looking to stay active so hopefully… all is well, I can’t control it. It’s out of my hands but yeah.”

It’s completely understandable for Kayla Harirson to be concerned about something like this. With that being said, there are only so many things she can control. Kayla has a fight of her own to focus on at UFC 307, and if she can get through that, there will almost certainly be a world title opportunity on the horizon.
