"She has bigger arms than me" - Paulo Costa reacts to Kayla Harrison's jacked physique ahead of UFC 307
Paulo Costa has shared his reaction to Kayla Harrison's jacked physique ahead of her UFC 307 clash this weekend. The former two-time PFL champion will face Ketlen Vieira in a bantamweight clash, with the winner expected to challenge for the title in the future.
Harrison made her debut in the promotion earlier this year when she faced off against veteran and former champion Holly Holm at UFC 300. Expectations were high for Harrison, as the former Olympic gold medalist had outlined her intentions to become a UFC champion as soon as possible. The 34-year-old then delivered with her performance, dominating Holm with her wrestling before submitting her in the second round.
Ahead of Kayla Harrison's clash against Vieira this weekend, a fan posted a picture of her on X that she had shared before the weigh-ins. The fan also added a picture of Sean O'Malley side-by-side with Harrison, comparing their physiques.

Middleweight star Paulo Costa then weighed in, where he jokingly claimed that Harrison also had bigger muscles than he does. He wrote:

Kayla Harrison planning to lure Amanda Nunes out of retirement
Kayla Harrison is confident that if she can capture the women's bantamweight title, she will be able to lock in a superfight against the former queen of the division, Amanda Nunes.
Before making the switch to the UFC, Harrison and Nunes had engaged in several back-and-forths over social media about a potential bout between them. Although fans were keen to see the fight, it was unlikely to happen whilst they were in different promotions.
Now, Harrison is in the UFC and Nunes has retired from competition. However, Harrison is keen to become the champion in order to goad 'The Lioness' back to the octagon. Speaking on a recent episode of the Pound 4 Pound podcast, Kayla Harrison said:
"I'm about to get this belt [UFC women's bantamweight championship]. I'm going to get another belt, lure Amanda [Nunes] out of retirement and I'm going to f*cking take everything that she's ever worked for and then Henry [Cejudo] is going to owe me 100 anytime pushups. And he will no longer be the greatest combat of all time."
