If Kayla Harrison is too depleted after cutting down to 136 pounds, Megan Anderson expects her to struggle. Two-time PFL lightweight champion Harrison (16-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) makes her octagon debut against former UFC champ Holly Holm (15-6 MMA, 8-6 UFC) in a bantamweight bout at UFC 300 on April 13 in Las Vegas. Harrison will attempt to reach 136 pounds for the first time in her career. Despite that, the the two-time Olympic gold medalist judoka opened up as a big favorite against Holm . Anderson, who was taken down four times in a unanimous decision loss to Holm in 2018 , thinks Harrison could have a hard time against Holm if the weight cut takes a toll on her body. “With those weight cuts, too, will the strength be there?” Anderson said on her YouTube channel .
