Video – Kayla Harrison takes down UFC star Alex Pereira with huge Judo throw: ‘That’s really impressive strength’

Off the back of her impressive promotional bow earlier this year at UFC 300, streaking bantamweight contender, Kayla Harrison has shown off her impressive Judo skills alongside fellow card feature, incumbent light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira – tossing the Brazilian to the mat.

Harrison, a former two-time PFL lightweight tournament winner and Olympic gold medal winner twice, made her long-anticipated Octagon landing back in April on the preliminary card of UFC 300, landing a second round rear-naked choke submission win over ex-champion, Holly Holm.

On that same card in a massive main event headliner, former middleweight titleholder and current 205lbs champion, Pereira successfully defended his title for the first time a division higher, felling Jamahal Hill with a thunderous opening round KO.
