Kayla Harrison has big plans after UFC 307.

Harrison returns to action for her highly anticipated second UFC fight against No. 2 ranked Bantamweight Ketlen Vieira next month at UFC 307, which goes down inside Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is headlined by Light Heavyweight champion Alex Pereira vs. Khalil Roundtree.

It was pretty confusing that Harrison wasn't given a title shot after dismantling Holly Holm at UFC 300 (watch highlights). Instead, she had to wait for the winner of Raquel Pennington vs. Julianna Pena, which will co-headline UFC 307.

While her sole focus is Brazil's Vieira, Harrison will be ready to step in on less than a minute's notice if one of the Bantamweight co-main eventers falls out.

"If one of those b—ches gets sick or hurt or injured, I will take that fight on 30 seconds notice. I'm ready. Best in the world, I'm ready. So let's go... where's Tanya Harding when you need her?" Harrison laughed while telling Grind City Media's John Morgan recently.

With a win, Harrison is no doubt next in line for the title, and she doesn't have a preference, although she would like to maim Pena (possibly because of these comments).

"I mean, honestly, to have a preference would mean that I have an emotion," Harrison said. "I don't care. I really do not care. Like, the goal is the belt. But if we're talking about Kayla, the psychopath, like, of course, I would rather put an elbow through Juliana's skull than Raquel's. Like, Juliana's face is annoying. Of course, I would pick that face like, of course."

UFC 307 goes down on Oct. 5, 2024.
