On paper, it would seem Larissa Pacheco is facing a rather daunting task at the 2022 PFL World Championship.
Pacheco (18-4) has been scintillating thus far in her run to the championship bout, scoring three straight first-round knockouts. But as she prepares to challenge for the PFL's 2022 women's lightweight world title, she finds herself facing an undefeated wrecking machine in Kayla Harrison (15-0)—a woman who already holds a pair of victories over Pacheco.
The 28-year-old Brazilian is the biggest underdog on Friday's card, which streams live on ESPN+ pay-per-view (8 p.m. ET) from New York's Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden. Pacheco is currently +450 at SISportsbook.com, indicating an implied probability of victory at only around 18 percent.
