Kayla Harrison upset with Julia Budd’s withdrawal from 2022 PFL 6: ‘I wanted to test myself’

Kayla Harrison was hoping to enter her second fight in the 2022 PFL season under different circumstances.

The two-time PFL women’s lightweight champion and two-time Olympic judo gold medalist was hoping to fight Julia Budd at Friday’s 2022 PFL 6 event in Atlanta. However, Budd, who’s a former Strikeforce and Bellator champion, had to withdraw from the fight, leaving Harrison (13-0) with late replacement Kaitlin Young.

The American Top Team product explained her frustration with now facing  Young (12-12-1) rather than Budd, who would have been her most accomplished opponent to date.
