Kayla Harrison keeps dominating and will fight for a third consecutive PFL championship.
Kayla Harrison just keeps winning.
The two-time PFL women’s lightweight champion and two-time Olympic judo gold medalist maintained her undefeated status Saturday at 2022 PFL 3 Playoffs. Harrison (15-0) defeated Martina Jindrova (6-3) with an arm-triangle submission a little over three minutes into the first round.
With the victory, Harrison is set to take on Larissa Pacheco in a trilogy bout in the women’s lightweight final, expected to go down in November. Pacheco punched her ticket to the final earlier with a first-round win over Olena Kolesnyk.
As many expected, Harrison’s win came quickly. After a short feeling-out process, Harrison took the fight to the ground. From there, she advanced to mount, locked in an arm-triangle and shortly after got the tap.
After the bout, Harrison declared herself queen of women’s MMA and took a not-so-subtle shot at Amanda Nunes, Cris Cyborg and Pacheco.
