I just get tired of talking about her. It does [feel realistic now], it feels closer than ever. Thatās why Iām not going to jinx it, not going to talk about it, not going to think about it. Iām just going to focus on Friday. Do everything I have to do to set up that awesome event. Until then, Iām not thinking about it.
As a reminder, Kayla Harrison wš„ill fight Aspeān Ladd on November 24 as part of the PFL season finale.
