Kayla Harrison has had her long anticipated MMA debut.
Professional fighters league featured Kayla fighting Brittany Elkin at 155 lbs looking like a lean machine!
The Judo gold winner manhandled Elkin into an armbar in round 1:
Post her debut Harrison was quoted saying:
“That’s probably the most alive I’ve felt since 2016,” Harrison, who won gold at the 2012 and 2016 Summer Olympics, told MMAjunkie after the fight. “That’s the most Kayla I’ve felt in a long, long time. So it was absolutely worth it.
“I can’t wait to get back in there and do it again. And I can’t wait to train.”
“My goal from the beginning, I said I want to be the best in the world at this,” Harrison said. “And the best woman in the world is at 145, so there’s where I’ve got to go.”
“Like I said, I’m an embryo, but I know she’s already taken notice of me because she’s been sending me some tweets,” Harrison said. “That’s cool of her to call out a 0-0 fighter.”
