Kayla
Harrison’s attempt to get one more fight in before the close of
2020 ultimately won’t come to fruition.
Harrison’s opponent, Jozette
Cotton, was unable to get below 180 pounds for the lightweight
bout, which was scheduled for Titan FC 66 on Thursday at
Intercontinental Hotel Miami, in Miami, Florida. As a result, the
proposed bout was scrapped. MyMMANews
was first to report the cancellation.
According to ESPN,
Harrison offered to accept the fight despite the weight difference,
but the commission refused to sanction the bout. The two-time
Olympic gold medalist also offered to weigh in at 165 pounds within
the hour, but it wasn’t enough to salvage the fight. Cotton was
ultimately hospitalized due to dehyrdation, Titan FC COO Lex McMahon
confirmed to
MMAFighting.com.
Harrison was coming off a second-round technical knockout of
Courtney
King in her featherweight debut at Invicta FC 43 on Nov. 20 and
had been given permission by Professional Fighters League to seek
another bout outside the promotion before its 2021 season.
Harrison’s 8-0 career mark includes a third-round TKO of Cotton
under the PFL banner in August 2018.
