Kayla Harrison added that everyone is chasing ‘The Lioness’. However, she clarified that her present goal is to become the PFL champion. About the tournament, she added, “It’s not easy to complete a season. It’s a lot of fights back to back, quick turnaround.”

Harrison concluded by saying that she’s mentally preparing for her upcoming fights and wants to take one fight at a time. For now, these will be under the PFL banner.

Kayla Harrison before her MMA stint

Harrison has dominated the PFL roster ever since her debut back in 2018. But prior to pursuing her career in the MMA world, she was already an established Judoka. She had previously won gold in the world judo championship back in 2010.

Later, she became the first American to win a gold medal in judo at the 2012 Olympics. Harrison repeated the feat four years later in the 2016 Olympics.

The fighter has taken her dominance from the mat to the cage quite seamlessly and has even drawn comparisons to another judoka in Ronda Rousey.

Harrison has certainly made a tremendous impact in her relatively short spell in MMA. She will look to continue winning until the fight against Amanda Nunes is the only one that makes sense for all parties involved. It will be interesting to see how Harrison moves ahead with her career.
