Harrison sparred Nunes before she even made her first MMA appearance
With the fight continuing to be talked about, Nunes officially re-entered the UFC drug testing pool earlier this year, allowing for negotiations to begin properly.
A fight between Harrison and Nunes, who is widely regarded as the greatest female fighter ever, would be one of the biggest women’s fights ever.
Not only because of both fighters’ skills, but also because Harrison and Nunes used to be teammates at American Top Team and have trained with each other before.
And Harrison has somewhat lifted the lid on how their training sessions together went, making a shock admission about their sparring.
“She is a big reason for me moving down to Florida, I had tried a bunch of different gyms and I came down and met Mike Brown, my second day there I sparred her and I was like, ‘Holy s—‘,” Harrison told MMA Junkie.
“Yeah (on the second day I sparred her), I don’t know what (they were thinking), yeah, it was sketchy, but ok. I hadn’t had an MMA fight yet actually.
“Our paths didn’t cross much in training because she was already up here and had a lot of privates and 1 on 1’s, but I always made myself readily available… We trained a little bit but not a lot, which for me was unfortunate,” Harrison continued.
