Could this be Kayla Harrison’s final year in the PFL? Without knowing details of her contract, that question is hard to answer. One thing, however, is clear: From a competition standpoint, she wants more than what the promotion currently offers.
For the third time in as many seasons, Harrison has advanced to the women’s lightweight postseason and will headline 2022 PFL Playoffs 3 against Martina Jindrova on Aug. 20 in London. If she wins it all, she’s bank a $1 million grand prize.
With the exception of a one-off Invicta FC fight in November 20202 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Harrison’s professional career has taken place in the PFL. Harrison, a former two-time Olympic gold medalist in judo, has fought 13 times for the promotion and is undefeated, capturing championships in 2019 and 2021, and the 32-year-old is heavily favored to three-peat.
