Easily wins belt. Nunes next
Harrison won the UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship on Saturday, defeating Julianna Pena via submission (kimura) at 4:55 of Round 2 at UFC 316 in Newark, New Jersey.
Impact
It was the expected result as Harrison entered as a -700 favorite. Kayla simply clinched onto Pena and forced her to the mat with ease on multiple occasions. She was credited with two takedowns on three attempts, although neither of the successful tries were perfect entries by any means. Harrison is just so big and strong that she is able to make something out of nothing. Not that it mattered in the least, but Pena was also docked a point for an illegal upkick in Round 1. Kayla was on her way to a 20-17 lead after two rounds, at which point she slapped on a kimura with just seconds remaining in the frame and Julianna tapped immediately. With all due respect to Pena, this is probably going to be the easiest championship fight Harrison has in her entire run. Her first title defense is going to come against Amanda Nunes, one of the best of all time. Nunes came into the cage in the octagon after the result was announced and the two went face-to-face. It's arguably going to be the biggest fight in the history of women's MMA.

Will challenge Pena for title
Harrison will take on Julianna Pena in a bantamweight title fight at UFC 316 in New Jersey on June 7.
Impact
Harrison defeated Ketlen Vieira via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC 307 on Oct. 5 in her most recent fight, and she should be the odds-on favorite to claim the title over Pena due to the massive advantage she has from a strength perspective. Harrison only has two appearances at the UFC level, but the fact that she's earning a title shot at this stage suggests she's highly regarded in the bantamweight division.
