Back in late 2019, Kayla Harrison proclaimed herself to be the highest-paid female fighter in MMA. At the time, she’d already won the PFL’s women’s lightweight tournament which earned her an instant $1 million.
Harrison won the same tournament in 2021, which meant another million-dollar payday. But for a while, she was toying with the idea of free agency until she decided to re-sign with PFL when it matched everyone else’s offers.
With a potentially lucrative new contract in place, Harrison’s net worth is likely getting a boost. But according to her manager Ali Abdelaziz, the 31-year-old Olympic gold medalist could have ascended to the top of the ladder of highest-paid female fighters of all time.
