Kayla Harrison has responded to Dana White’s unsolicited advice ahead of her free agency.
On Monday, White told TSN’s Aaron Bronsteter he thought Harrison should stay in the PFL and get paid big bucks to fight lesser competition.
Dana White on Kayla Harrison: "If I was her, I'd stay right where she is and keep picking off the people over there… I would stay there and keep fighting the type of women she's fighting there before i would come here and fight an Amanda Nunes. That's for damn sure." pic.twitter.com/seT08YhZa5

“Thanks for the advice, Uncle Dana, I appreciate you. My job is going to focus on Oct. 27. I really don’t care what other people have to say about me or my career, my choices or my options. I’m going to do what’s best for me, and that’s it.”
“That’s what he does, That’s his job. I’m gonna talk about how I’m the greatest of all time, and he’s gonna talk about, ‘Well, calm down. No, you’re not.’ This is a game. This is a business. The difference is I really am gonna be the greatest of all time. He’s gonna see.”
Harrison is set to fight Taylor Guardado in the main event of Wednesday’s PFL Championship at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The fight is Harrison’s final fight on her PFL contract.
