Default Holly Holm vs. Kayla Harrison UFC 300

Kayla Harrison will be making her UFC debut at UFC 300 in April against former champion Holly Holm.

A couple of immediate points to consider:

It will be contested at 135lbs. Kayla has, so far, only fought at 155 and 145lbs.

Holly is 42 years old.


...This is a very interesting fight, IMO.

I assume Kayla will make the weight. She's a professional and holds herself to a high standard. She doesn't half-ass anything and will do what she needs to do to make the weight.

That said, will it come at a cost? It's a step into the unknown. I honestly think Larissa Pacheco was fighting at too low a weight class when she was in the UFC. Rather like Rumble Johnson at 170 and losing to Josh Koscheck... I doubt he would have lost had they fought at 205lbs. You're gonna be flatter and weaker.

But still, it could be that the UFC is a step up in class that will expose Kayla. Holly is 42 but defeated Yana Santos(Kunitskaya) last year... She's still operating at a high level... If she controls the distance, works on some new things instead of just relying on her straight left and clinch, I could see Holly getting the decision win.

Going down from 155 to 135 might be too much.

Weigh-ins are the hardest and most dangerous part of some fights.
