Six new millionaires were crowned on New Year’s Eve, including the PFL’s first-ever women’s lightweight champion.
That turned out to be prohibitive favorite Kayla Harrison (7-0), who won a dominant five-round decision over Larissa Pacheco (13-4) in the PFL Championship main event on New Year’s Eve at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
It was the second time that Harrison beat Pacheco after winning a decision over her during the PFL regular season and she was even better this time around, completely neutralizing Pacheco and rarely finding herself in danger.
The 25-year-old Brazilian had her moments, searching for submissions from bottom position and occasionally finding a home for her right hand, but overall Harrison was in complete control.
