According to recent rumors, Raquel Pennington vs Julianna Pena is being rumored to take place at UFC 307 in Salt Lake City.

Since arriving from PFL, Harrison has made it her mission to become world champion. She got off to a good start in her quest, defeating Holly Holm with relative ease earlier this year. Alas, there’s still a lot of work to be done, but the popular opinion is that she could well be the next challenger for whoever comes out on top between Pennington and Pena.

In a recent interview, Kayla was happy to speak about their title collision, as well as what the future could hold.

“That’s a tough call,” Harrison told MMA Junkie Radio. “I tend to go with grapplers, so I think Peña pulls it out, but it’s anybody’s fight. I’d fight both of them on the same night.”

Kayla went on to give her thoughts on where the division will be one year from now.

“We’re going to be hyping up my fight with Amanda (Nunes) because I won the title, and now she can’t handle it and she’s coming back,” Harrison said.
