Kayla Harrison Hospitalized for ‘Peeing Blood’ Before UFC 307 Due to Brutal Weight Cut

Kayla Harrison spent some time in the hospital before her sophomore appearance inside the Octagon.

After a destructive first-round finish against Holly Holm in April, the two-time Olympic gold medalist returned to action on Saturday night in Salt Lake City for a scrap with No. 2 ranked bantamweight contender Ketlen Vieira. Though she was listed as a -1000 favorite on a majority of sportsbooks, Harrison faced a fair amount of adversity against the Brazilian.
