While many fell by the wayside or remained stagnant through 2021, the Professional Fighters League (PFL) saw massive growth from all areas as one of the top mixed martial arts promotions in the world. From the beginning of the regular season to the crowning of six $1 million world champions, the PFL and a roster filled with elite talent from around the world delighted fans on the ESPN family of networks and major distributors in over 160 countries. It all started back in April with Clay Collard shocking the world by upsetting former UFC world champion Anthony Pettis. That same night saw the beginning of a new featherweight champion crowned as Lance Palmer fell to Bubba Jenkins. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/PFL-fight.jpg] Rory MacDonald, who has held the world title in Bellator and competed for UFC gold, made his PFL debut with a submission victory at the following event. Pettis, MacDonald, and former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum were part of a strong influx of talent. They helped strengthen an already deep and talented roster of fighters. FEMALE FIGHTERS AT PFL Combat sports fans were granted a special treat when boxing world champion Claressa Shields [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/claressa-shields/] made her MMA debut inside the PFL cage. Shields, a former Olympic gold medalist, would compete twice as she began her new career. At the same time, she maintained her hold atop the boxing world.

Harrison finished things off at the biggest night in MMA, PFL Championships, as one of six to win a world title and $1 million. GREAT SPONSORS The PFL has over two-dozen blue-chip sponsors [https://www.pflmma.com/sponsors] on board. This includes Anheuser-Busch, IBM, Geico, DraftKings, and Bose. The MMA promotion thus continues to lead by example. In the coming months, the PFL Challenger Series, a proofing ground for rising prospects to earn their shot in the promotion, will debut live on Fubo Sports Network. READ MORE- PFL Pulls Into Front Row of MMA Alongside UFC [https://www.essentiallysports.com/news-pfl-pulls-into-front-row-of-mma-alongside-ufc/] The coming year looks to be another opportunity for PFL to showcase why they are at the top of the MMA world. 

PFL events in 2021 were a massive success. But they were just a precursor to the
incredible things the promotion has planned for 2022!

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Kayla Harrison's Net Worth 2024, Career, and Family</strong></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Kayla Harrison?</h2>
Kayla Harrison is set to make her promotional debut at the historic UFC 300 event. The former PFL star is the only American to have won a gold medal in Judo. The Olympic gold medalist has an impressive record of 16-1 and has had quite an impressive run in the PFL and now looks to make the same impact in the UFC.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Kayla Harrisonâ€™s early life</h2>
Kayla Harrison was born in Middletown, Ohio, on July 2nd, 1990. Being born to a parent who was a black belt in Judo, it wasn't long before the 33-year-old took up an interest in the sport and started her journey by the age of 6.

Harrison excelled in the sport and won a World Championship at the age of 20 in Tokyo, Japan in 2010 and would go on to win the Olympic Gold Medal at the age of 22 in 2012. She won another Gold Medal in the 2016 Olympics.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Kayla Harrisonâ€™s partner and children</h2>
According to a report by CNBC, the UFC featherweight was once engaged to fellow judo practitioner and firefighter, Aaron Handy. However, the couple seems to have parted ways as Harrison was seen with a teammate from American Top Team and former UFC fighter, Anthony Rocco Martin. The two were seen together in some interviews. But as of 2024, it is unclear if the two are still dating.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Kayla Harrisonâ€™s net worth 2024</h2>
UFC bantamweight Kayla Harrison is one of the most accomplished female combat sports athletes on the planet. Having a record of 16-1 in MMA and having won the Olympic medal twice in MMA along with multiple other Judo and MMA championships, it is safe to say that Harrison made most of her career earnings through combat sports.
