Kayla Harrison Disputes Notion That She Won’t React Well to Being Hit in PFL Final

While it didn’t surface in their two previous bouts, it’s common knowledge that the great equalizer for Larissa Pacheco in her third meeting with Kayla Harrison is her knockout power.

Pacheco is currently in the midst of a five-bout winning streak in Professional Fighters League competition, with all of her victories coming via knockout or technical knockout. Harrison disputes the idea that she won’t respond well if Pacheco connects with something significant when they square off for the women’s lightweight title at the PFL Championships on Friday.

“Just because you don’t see me get hit in a fight, doesn’t mean I don’t get hit,” Harrison said at a press conference on Wednesday.
