“Listen, I think this is the fight the fans would like to see. This is a fight that the PFL would like to support. Kayla said she wants this fight. I think it will depend on Chris Cyborg. Does she want this fight? And if Cris decides to come to the PFL to make this fight and maybe other fights happen, that's one scenario. Another scenario is a co-promotion. And we are defenders of both. Our understanding is that she is a free agent. We would like to make this fight happen. There has certainly already been contact. There's no beating around the bush. It's no surprise or news that this is a fight the PFL would like to make happen, or Kayla. So I think in the next few weeks we'll see what's possible,” Murray said.
