SALT LAKE CITY – Kayla Harrison continues to tick the boxes of new experiences in combat sports.
A little past six years into her MMA career, which has included just one loss, Harrison (18-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) got to see her own blood for the first time in a fight. Ketlen Vieira (14-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) was the opponent from whom it was courtesy of.
That doesn’t mean Harrison was in trouble against the Brazilian in their women’s bantamweight fight to open the UFC 307 pay-per-view main card at Delta Center on Saturday. She mostly rolled to a unanimous decision, including a pair of 30-27 scores. But the blood thing was new.
