Kayla Harrison defeated Ketlen Vieira via unanimous decision at UFC 307 on Saturday night. It was Harrison's second win of the year, her second win in the UFC and her second career victory at bantamweight.

Harrison, who fought most of her career above 150 pounds, has had to make a drastic weight cut since joining the UFC where bantamweight—135 pounds—is the heaviest weight class. Harrison was visibly struggling when she hit the scales ahead of her UFC debut back in April at UFC 300.
