Kayla Harrison criticizes Demetrious Johnson for mocking UFC 332 main event
Summary

Kayla Harrison expressed strong disapproval of Demetrious Johnson's comments mocking the UFC 332 main event, which features Natalia Silva against Wang Cong for a vacant flyweight title. Johnson and Israel Adesanya laughed at the matchup during their podcast, citing it as a poor headlining choice. Harrison countered that undermining less-known fighters is harmful to the growth of women's MMA and emphasized the need to support emerging talents. Despite concerns over the card's appeal, UFC 332 is set to take place in Salt Lake City. Harrison is scheduled to defend her title against Amanda Nunes in the co-main event of UFC 334 on November 14.
