The matchup would be a Bellator champion vs. PFL champion matchup, which is the theme of an upcoming event the promotion intends to create in early 2024. However, this would leave former two-time PFL champion Kayla Harrison out of the mix for one of the biggest potential fights in women’s MMA. Harrison and Cyborg have gone back and forth over recent years about making the fight happen.
