Kayla Harrison opens as sizeable favorite for U.F.C 300 fight vs. Holly Holm.
Oddsmakers are heavily favoring Kayla Harrison to win her U.F.C debut.

Longtime P.F.L star Harrison (16-1 MMA, 0-0 U.F.C) has drawn former champion Holly Holm (15-6 MMA, 8-6 UFC) in a bantamweight bout April 13 at U.F.C 300 in Las Vegas.

According to DraftKings, Harrison is -310 favorite, meaning a $310 bet would be needed on the two-time Olympic gold medalist judoka to return a $100 profit. Holm is a +250 underdog, meaning a $100 bet on the former U.F.C champ would win $250.

Two-time P.F.L champion Harrison, who’s competed at lightweight and featherweight, will attempt to reach 136 pounds for the first time. She most recently competed at the 2023 P.F.L World Championship where she defeated Aspen Ladd by unanimous decision in November. Harrison’s only career loss came in a big upset to Larissa Pacheco in the 2022 P.F.L Championship final.

Holm, 42, fought twice in 2023. After defeating Yana Santos in March, her submission loss to Mayra Bueno Silva in July was overturned to a no contest when the Brazilian former title challenger failed a drug test for ADHD medication.
