Kayla Harrison recently shared her thoughts on a potential fight against "twerker" Ailin Perez and discussed her future career moves. Harrison stated that she was open to fighting Perez while waiting to see how a potential Raquel Pennington vs. Julianna Pena title fight would play out.
Earlier this month, Perez defeated Joselyne Edwards via unanimous decision at UFC 302. After her victory, the Argentine called out Harrison for a showdown at the post-fight press conference and asked UFC CEO Dana White to book the matchup for a main event clash.
During a recent interview, Harrison was asked for her thoughts on Perez's challenge. The Olympic gold medalist judoka jokingly referenced the Argentine's signature twerking celebration and said:
"I've heard that too [Perez's call out]. The twerker, right? And a judo girl. I will fight both of them on the same night. I'll fight anyone, I'm not saying no to anybody... Sometimes, it's just a little outrageous; I don't really know what to say. I'm like, 'You're twerking,' I don't know how to handle this."

Mine is going to be sounding really good in the future I want that fight, I want to fight her, I want a main event, I do have the cardio, and I have the heart for five rounds. And I got some big ovaries. Dana, give me this fight, I deserve it.”
