The success of Game of Thrones over the past decade has turned it into a pop culture icon. It always finds its way being referenced in several other spheres. For example, we often find politicians comparing the affairs of the state with HBO’s highly acclaimed TV show. However, recently the show was mentioned in a completely different area of work, in the world of sports. Kayla Harrison, a highly successful MMA fighter from the USA, called the ring the Game of Thrones, and she’s going to be the Queen.
Kayla Harrison just won her PFL 6 fight against Cindy Dandois via first-round submission. During the post-fight interview, Harrison said, “Ya, first-round submission. I like to keep them guessing; you know. Keep working on stuff, keep improving little by little. I’m so far ahead of all these girls and its coz since I was 8 years old, I’ve been dropping people on their head. I mean, I conquered the Judo world, which no American was ever able to do and now I am here to conquer the MMA world. This is a game of thrones and I am going to be the Queen.”
Kayla has looked unstoppable recently and has won every MMA fight she has competed in. Maybe she will really be the ‘Queen of the Ring.’
Do you think Kayla will dominate the fight ring according to her claims? Tell us in the comments below!
