Media Holly Holm Unlikely to Fight Kayla Harrison if Kayla Doesn’t Make Weight

[Wormwood]

On a recent interview with Ariel, Ariel asked Holly if she is ok if Kayla misses weight by 2-3 pounds. Holly replied by saying Kayla signed on to make 135 (136) so she expects Kayla to be a professional and make weight.

Though Holly doesn’t specifically say she won’t fight if Kayla misses weight, she makes it clear Kayla needs to make weight. Holly even brings up the recent criticism of Wonderboy for not fighting his opponent who missed weight implying Wonderboy made the correct decision.

So there you go, there is a chance Holly’s fight with Kayla is scrapped if Kayla misses weight.



Starts at about the 5:10 mark.

(also, based on the interview, sounds like Holly’s fight will be on the prelims)

Hopefully they’ll have a back up. Thats a big drop in weight.

Dana will make it happen no matter what, he's not going to let his headline fight for 300 go up in smoke.

 

[JoeRowe]

Everyone gonna be rooting for Kayla to miss weight the morning of April 12th

ish ish ishhhh

She made 145 once I believe. Better get on that Paddy weight cut routine.

She has, and apparently she has made a couple of test cuts to 135. I am still very skeptical though.

Holly would be a fool to let Kayla have ANY extra advantage.​

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

"Since Kayla unfortunately missed weight, we will be going along with our back up fight, Holly Holm vs Kayla Harrison at 145lbs."

 

[Striker Fox]

 

[oski]

why the fuck should she? A lb. at 135 or whatever is enormous!

Fuck them on any ppv, let alone 300.

Does anyone actually still buy this card?

Harrison looked like she was NOT having a good day at weigh-ins against Ladd, who she fought at 150lbs. She's 5'8" and has bigger biceps, delts and traps than Dvalishvili, who I consider one of the more muscular 135ers at 5'6". I'm saying it now, she will not make 135 on April 13th, 2024.

Even Holly knows Kayla isn't making weight, she's just making sure that Kayla has a really hard cut, gives her 20% of the purse, and is a complete pushover in the ring.

They coach em that way at Jackson and Wienerschnitzel. Instead of take no prisoners, they take no chances.

 

[AfroBanana]

Holm is smart to already start the negotiation process. She will get paid to do so.

You think an extra $4000 is that much of an incentive for Holm? She's got 2.5M followers on IG.

That jacked white girl wont make 135

There's no reason to believe she'll be on the ppv card.

 

[Ace70 V2]

She has, and apparently she has made a couple of test cuts to 135. I am still very skeptical though.

If she can make it and retain most of what makes her her, she's gonna get the strap.

Kayla ain't fighting for 20/20k bro, not a chance...

At least I hope not...
