Kayla Harrison ran into a different verison of Larissa Pacheco at the 2022 PFL Championships, and the end result was her first career defeat as a mixed martial artist.
at the 2022 PFL Championships, and the end result was her first career defeat as a mixed martial artist.After Harrison dominated Pacheco over eight rounds in their first two meetings, the trilogy was far more competitive, with the Brazilian emerging with a back-and-forth unanimous decision triumph to claim $1 million and the 155-pound throne.
A two-time Olympic gold medalist in judo, Harrison entered Friday night with a 15-0 career record in MMA. She was a significant favorite against Pacheco but was unable to impose her will as easily as she had in the past. Harrison says she will draw upon past experiences suffering defeat as a judoka, but that doesn’t make the latest setback any less painful.
For Harrison, it’s still essential to set an example for the people in her life that she cares about the most — even if things didn’t go her way against Pacheco.
