Two-time Olympic gold medalist Kayla Harrison is looking to win her third $1million PFL prize - and all signs point towards a clash with Cris Cyborg next.
Harrison, 32, made the career switch to MMA after winning gold in judo at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic games. She has since gone unbeaten in 15 fights, winning the 2019 and 2021 PFL women's lightweight tournaments to bank herself $2million in prize money. Harrison looks to add pick up another $1million cheque against Larrisa Pacheco, who she has already beaten twice, in this season's finals on Friday night.
This year's season will be Harrison's last in the PFL, but she is hoping to compete in the promotion's inaugural super-fight league next year, with Cyborg being discussed as a potential opponent. Before she thinks about fighting the multiple-promotion champion, Harrison has insisted she must not overlook Pacheco regardless of her two past wins against her.
