Kayla Harrison is still in celebration mode after becoming champion with a dominant second-round submission finish over Julianna Peña at UFC 316 but her focus will soon shift directly to a showdown with former teammate Amanda Nunes.

Immediately after she had the title wrapped around her waist, Harrison called for Nunes to join her in the cage where they first embraced and then shared a faceoff for what is already being touted as possibly the biggest fight in women’s MMA history.
