NEW YORK – On Friday, Kayla Harrison will attempt to claim her third consecutive PFL World Championship when she faces a familiar foe in Brazilian standout Larissa Pacheco. The two have shared the cage twice before, with Harrison picking up decision wins each time, but Pacheco is promising something different this time around.
Pacheco has been vocal about her intentions to unseat a woman she now considers a rival, but Harrison shut down that talk at Wednesday's pre-event press conference ahead of the card.
"I mean, can you call it a rivalry if you've never won a round?" Harrison asked. "I don't know if that's fair. I don't want to put that kind of pressure on Larissa. It's not a rivalry. She has nothing to lose."
