Kayla Harrison's manager Ali Abdelaziz claims the Olympic gold medalist is Ronda Rousey, who uses steroids.
Harrison is set to make her UFC debut at UFC 300 on Saturday against former champion Holly Holm. This is an interesting matchup, and heading into the match, she is a heavy betting favorite as a win against Holm would give her a shot at the title.
In the end, Ali Abdelaziz is confident his client will win big against Holly Holm. I believe that Kayla Harrison's rise is greater than Ronda Rousey's, which is why I claim that Harrison is Rousey on steroids.
“She'll put on weight and listen. At the end of the day, she'll just tune in,” Abdelaziz said in an interview with Kevin Ior (via MMAMAnia). She will face Holly Holm. She's very tough, very seasonal, and she goes out there and beats her. She will win the title and become UFC champion. We have Ronda Rousey on steroids, that's what we have. ”
If Harrison is able to finish Holm, it would be a statement win, and the odds point to her taking a big win at UFC 300.
Ali Abdelaziz not worried about Kayla Harrison's weight loss
However, there are some concerns as Kayla Harrison's weight has dropped to 135 pounds. But Abdelaziz says her weight is not an issue at all.
“It's the best thing for her personal life as a whole. She lost all that extra weight, felt good about herself and looked better,” he said. “She looks amazingly healthy, right? She's getting close to that her weight, but she's not that far off. She's got a lot of muscle,” he added. “So who loses weight? There's water in the muscles. People with muscle lose weight much easier than people with fat. She's surrounded by people like Mike Brown and We have a great team of other people. Don't worry about her weight, folks.
“Everyone is using her weight as an excuse not to fight her or not going to fight if she misses weight. After all, she's a two-time Olympic champion. He's a two-time PFL champion, he's never missed weight, he's scoring 145 in his room even during the pandemic, you know what I'm saying?'' Abdelaziz continued.
If Kayla Harrison can defeat Holm at 135 pounds, she has a very good chance of winning the title next.
