For Harrison, she has won two tournaments at women&#8217;s 155lbs now in PFL and she has been incredibly dominant throughout the way. It is getting to the point now where she is such a massive betting favorite for her fights that some fans find it is a waste of time for her to be in PFL, rather than in the UFC, where she would have much tougher competition.<\/p>\n<p>For Harrison, she is listening to the UFC, the PFL, and other promotions as she is a free agent and looking forward to making the very best decision for her MMA career. For many fans, the best decision would be for her to join the UFC and eventually fight UFC women&#8217;s featherweight champion, Amanda Nunes.

It\u2019s my job. If I want to fight in the UFC some day, if I want to fight at featherweight for the UFC some day, then it\u2019s my job to prove to him that I\u2019m worth the investment and I\u2019m worth the risk,&#8221; Harrison said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"tpMPjA\">\u201cAll I can do is to continue to go out there and be so dominant and continue be so good that you can\u2019t ignore me. I know that I\u2019ll do that. He says a lot of stuff and I know that I\u2019m going to make him eat his words and he\u2019ll smile when he does it and it will be great.
