Kayla Harrison & Former UFC Double Champ Go Back-and-Forth After the Latter’s “Michael Phelps” Dig

Henry Cejudo doesn’t hold the brakes when taking shots on his social media platform. The latest victim to experience the same was PFL lightweight champion, Kayla Harrison. 

Triple C took to Twitter to take a swing at the 31-year-old. He posed with Bellator featherweight champion Cris Cyborg and wrote, “If they handed out medals for beating scrubs, you’d be Michael Phelps! #RealChampsOnly.”  

After this swing, Harrison came back with a reply- “No, I’d be in Bellator fighting the taller chick in that pic.” However, ‘The Messenger‘ only upped the ante as he fired back, “@KaylaH I know I’m short and that makes me half the man you are.”

This insinuates that the former UFC double champ is not a fan of Harrison. Henry Cejudo and his contempt seems to be aimed at the fact that an Olympian reigns as a champion at a promotion where she doesn’t cross paths with elite fighters. 

Fight fans had also expressed the same outlook towards Harrison when the latter took shots at Cris Cyborg while staying in a safe position in the PFL.

Kayla Harrison’s ‘lucrative’ new deal with PFL 

Kayla Harrison has previously expressed an interest in fighting Cris Cyborg in Bellator. Of course, this is possible only if Harrison were to move to Bellator. When fight fans were expecting a move from Harrison after becoming a free agent, ‘Doug’ did the unexpected and stayed with PFL, who matched Bellator’s offer.

Harrison currently remains the PFL lightweight champion with no significant competition to offer any real challenge to her. Hopefully, the promotion signs newcomers with great talent capable of presenting ‘Doug’ a tough challenge in the 2022 season.
