Kayla Harrison reaches third PFL final with submission win over Martina Jindrova

Kayla Harrison is in touching distance of becoming a three-time PFL champion as she submitted Martina Jindrova in London to reach this year's finals.

Two-time Olympic gold medalist Harrison, 32, wasted no time in taking Jindrova down as the fight got underway, taking side control and searching for a submission at any chance she could. Harrison worked her way into full mount and started to land some heavy pucnhes before eventually locking in an arm-triangle choke to force the tap from Jindrova and reach her third consecutive PFL final.

Harrison will face Larrisa Pachecho in a trilogy fight at the PFL finals later this year. Pachecho has been outpointed by Harrison twice in their previous meetings, with the Brazilian missing out on the 2019 title in their rematch. Pachecho banked herself a spot in the finals by knocking out Olena Kolesnyuk with a devastating left hook. All but one of Pachecho's seven PFL wins have now come by first-round stoppage.
