Kayla Harrison's Weight Cut
This bout is slated for the women's bantamweight division (135 pounds). This might be a tough cut for Harrison, who has never fought at such a low weight. She reigned over the 155-pound division in PFL, and her Olympic gold medals came as a 172-pound judoka.
This will be worth watching as the event approaches.
How To Bet Harrison vs Holm
Harrison is the queen of judo, meaning she'll go to the well with her best moves: trips, clinches, takedowns, and ground-and-pound. Holm is a pretty durable opponent, so she can defend and soak damage.
In the end, this fight will become a battle of wills. Harrison is obviously more skilled in the grappling department, and she should wear Holm down physically.
Harrison vs Holm Pick
The prop odds might change my pick, but for now, I'm taking Harrison by decision and OVER 2.5 rounds.
