Kayla Harrison’s next PFL fight is set.
The two-time Olympic judo gold medalist will take on former Bellator women’s featherweight champion Julia Budd in the promotion’s 2022 regular season finale on July 1st in Atlanta, Georgia.
Harrison (13-0) has twice won the PFL women’s lightweight tournament, and she’s heavily favored to make it a three-peat. She got off to her usual dominant start in her regular season opener, a shutout decision over Marina Mokhnatkina. It’s only her third win on the scorecards, with Larissa Pacheco twice going the distance with Harrison but obviously clearly losing.
Budd (16-4) began her career in Strikeforce, then made her way to Invicta FC, but she really broke through in Bellator.
