"Wanna make a bet homie?" - Kayla Harrison and Belal Muhammad make hilarious wager on Amanda Nunes' title fight against Julianna Pena
Kayla Harrison recently challenged Belal Muhammad to a bet. The wager is about the upcoming women's bantamweight title fight between Amanda Nunes and Julianna Pena.
Kayla Harrison revealed she had been training with 'The Lioness' during her camp for the upcoming title fight. She claimed that Nunes was ready to demolish 'The Venezuelan Vixen'.

Harrison then raised the stakes, saying:
Belal Muhammad and Julianna Pena train under the same renowned striking coach, Mike Valle, in Bensenville, Illinois.
Kayla Harrison spoke about Nunes and her training camp and revealed that 'The Lioness' was helping her "just as much." She also spoke about the potential trilogy fight between Nunes and current flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko.
"I am [helping her]. But I would argue that she is helping me just as much," claimed Kayla Harrison. "Because it's such a great blessing for me just to be able to work with her, you know? Just trying to be like a sponge and soak it all up but yeah, she's gonna be ready to murder Julianna Pena... I think Amanda has nothing to prove to anyone, you know? If she wants to fight [Shevchenko], she obviously can. If they offer the right amount of money, but she has nothing to prove to anyone..."
