‘It sure does have a special taste’ - Pacheco talks beating Harrison, what to do with $1 million

Larissa Pacheco has finally done it. Last Saturday she achieved a goal years in the making. After losing twice to former Professional Fighters League champ and Olympic gold medallist Kayla Harrison, the Brazilian managed to score a win in their third encounter—taking home the promotion’s 2022 season title and its one-million-dollar prize in the process.

In an interview with Ag Fight, Pacheco expressed her feelings on the sensation of finally defeating a decorated martial artist such as Harrison. Furthermore, she shared some thoughts on what she might do with her prize money, though she has no concrete ideas for it just yet.
