Kayla Harrison has responded to the comments made by Henry Cejudo regarding her fight with Ketlen Vieira at Saturday’s UFC 307 pay-per-view event from the Delta Center in Salt Lake City.
The former UFC champion picked Harrison to win the bout. However, he sees Vieira’s black belt in judo and her striking as dangerous for Harrison in the fight. Once the two-time Olympic gold medalist judoka heard about his comments, she didn’t hold back while speaking with Submission Radio.
“I don’t know why the hell they’re talking about a judo black belt making a difference. There are levels,” she said. “That would be like me telling Henry, ‘Oh this kid wrestled in varsity in high school, so you’re going to struggle to take him down.’ Benign. Asinine. It’s all right. I look forward to showing once again why Henry is a jealous little man.”
The Double Down
Harrison doubled down on her remarks towards Cejudo in an exchange with Ali Abdelaziz, who represents both fighters during Episode 4 of UFC Embedded.
“Bro, you better get your boy f*cking Henry,” Harrison said. “I’m going to f*ck him up. After he talked all that sh*t, he was like, ‘But, I’ve got to go with Kayla.’ Oh yeah. I f*cking watched it. I’m telling you, he’s jealous because I have more gold medals than him. He can’t handle it – his little fragile ego.”
