Kayla Harrison had a one-sided start to the PFL women’s lightweight season on Thursday when she earned a unanimous-decision victory at PFL 2019, Week 1.

Harrison (4-0), the two-time Olympic judo gold medalist, remained unbeaten in her MMA career with another dominant performance against UFC veteran Larissa Pacheco (11-3) in her first fight of the season, which took place at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y., and aired on ESPN2. Because she went the distance, though, the win earned Harrison just three points in the standings.

Harrison too damn strong. Just tosses the Brazilian off her neck like a fly.

Oh. Hey. Larissa Pacheco takes Kayla Harrison's back …. annnnnd nope. Harrison shucks her off and gets in top position. Rare moment of adversity for Harrison.

Dang that was a slick move by Pacheco

Congrats @Judo_Kayla

Harrison goes the distance with Pacheco. First decision of Harrison’s young MMA career. She very likely won all three rounds, but couldn’t get the finish and the bonus points that come with it. #PFL1

I'd consider that very valuable cage time if I'm Kayla Harrison or her team. Her opponent engaged, scored a back take, showed good guard retention and veteran savvy. Harrison was likely forced to be conservative to avoid mistakes. This will help her grow quite a bit.

This is Harrison’s most impressive performance, IMO. Showed her ability to push the pace all three rounds and maintain her poise under adversity.
