Kayla Harrison explains mic drop moment after her win: ‘I’m not Miss Congeniality. I’m not here to make friends’

Kayla Harrison will be the first to admit she needed to punch out some feelings in her return to action at PFL 3 this past Thursday night.

Frustrated for most of 2020 after the PFL cancelled the entire season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the two-time Olympic gold medalist had faced a multitude of emotions after her career was stunted just as momentum was really beginning to build. While she was able to fight one time during the year — and make her debut at 145 pounds — Harrison was still disappointed she was only able to compete in that single event.
