"My kids can't come to my fights anymore" - Kayla Harrison opens up on taking severe damage at UFC 307

Kayla Harrison revealed that her UFC 307 fight camp was far from smooth, dealing with severe health issues just a week before her bout with Ketlen Vieira. The 34-year-old fighter shared that she was hospitalized, “peeing blood,” in the days leading up to the fight.

Despite the challenging circumstances, Harrison pushed through and won by unanimous decision in a competitive match. Vieira even managed to make Harrison bleed for the first time in her fighting career. Speaking to TMZ Sports, Harrison admitted she was concerned about her kids watching:

"Honestly, my kids can't come to my fights anymore because my first thought was like, 'My kids are seeing this.' And that is not a thought I need to be having when I'm inside of a cage. I don't need to be thinking about my kids watching me bleed. So that was my first though."

Daniel Cormier calls out Julianna Peña for not addressing Kayla Harrison in her post-fight interview

Former UFC champion Daniel Cormier criticized Julianna Peña for failing to call out Kayla Harrison after reclaiming the bantamweight title at UFC 307. Peña defeated Raquel Pennington via split decision in the co-main event in Salt Lake City on Saturday. Meanwhile, Harrison secured the No. 1 contender spot earlier in the night by defeating Ketlen Vieira.

During Peña’s post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, cameras showed Harrison listening closely. However, instead of acknowledging her future opponent, Peña called for a trilogy fight with Amanda Nunes.

Appearing in a recent video on his YouTube channel, 'DC' had this to say on 'The Venezuelan Vixen':

“I will say this: She dropped the ball on the callout... I mean, Kayla’s on the screen. Say her name. Why no-sell the person that is clearly going to be your No. 1 contender? There is no world where she does not fight Kayla Harrison. She’s fighting her next."

He added:

“You might as well put the sell on it right now. Don’t wait until the fight is announced. Now you’re a step behind when you had the opportunity to be a step ahead going into your fight with Kayla Harrison, who will be the No. 1 contender for your championship as we go forward.”
