Future bantamweight title contender Kayla Harrison revealed that she was “peeing blood” and taking antibiotics one week before Saturday’s fight at UFC 307.
“I’m not built for – I’m just not built to weigh 135 pounds. Anytime I get under the 150s, it’s not pleasant,” Harrison said in an interview with TMZ.
Harrison is a former PFL lightweight champion.
Manager: McGregor turned down Gaethje fight ‘at least 5 times’
Justin Gaethje’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, recently claimed that Conor McGregor turned down no fewer than five offers to face Gaethje in the octagon.
”He got offered this fight at least five times,” Abdelaziz said. “At least five. He never wanted to have to do anything with Justin Gaethje.”
“The last five, six years we offered Justin Gaethje so many times. Never once, never once, this man—Even the UFC, told me this, ‘Hey, leave him alone. Don’t talk with him. He doesn’t like to fight people who talk bad to him on the internet.’ I promise you, he likes to be the one to start the talk and you retaliate.”
