Olympic Judo Gold Medalist Kayla Harrison to Make MMA Debut at PFL 2 in Chicago

Two-time Olympic judo gold medalist Kayla Harrison will make her mixed martial arts debut this summer.

During an appearance on ”The MMA Hour,” Harrison revealed that she will compete at Professional Fighters League 2 in Chicago on June 21. Harrison initially signed with World Series of Fighting as a commentator last year.

WSOF recently rebranded as the PFL, which will hold a regular season followed by a postseason that will award $1 million payouts to the champions in six weight classes. No women’s divisions are currently listed on the promotion’s website.
