Harrison’s Coach Responds to Pena’s Steroid Use Allegations

Mike Brown, head coach of Kayla Harrison, responded to UFC women's flyweight champion Julianna Peña, who accused his charge of steroid use.

“There are very strong and very fast people, and if you're not like that, it doesn't mean they don't exist.

"The biggest indicator for me as somebody who's clean is somebody who is stable. Their body looks the same over prolonged periods of time. [Kayla] is always the same. She doesn't change. Of course, when you're cutting weight it's going to change but like somebody who's taking illegal substances, you can see. Their body changes in a week. You'll see ups and downs in people taking testosterone or something like this," Brown stated

No, she is 100% clean athlete. Always has been and always will be. She doesn't need to be. She's a freak among freaks, a special athlete.

Recall, Julianna Peña and Kayla Harrison will fight on June 8 in Newark (USA) as part of the UFC 316.

Peña last stepped into the octagon in October 2024 at UFC 307, defeating Raquel Pennington by split decision. She has 12 wins and five losses to her name.

Harrison last fought in October 2024 at UFC 307, defeating Ketlen Vieira by unanimous decision. She has 18 wins and one loss on her record.
