Kayla Harrison just made a stunning debut in the octagon at UFC 300 – by delivering a spectacular performance against Holly Holm!
From the very start of the fight, Harrison displayed her grappling superiority; executing a throw early in the fight and transitioning to dominant positions on the ground.
And, despite Holm’s attempts to reverse positions, Harrison maintained control – delivering devastating strikes from the top positions.
The second round pretty much mirrored the first, with Harrison imposing her will on the ground.
However, she now swiftly transitioned to a Rear Naked choke – forcing Holm to tap out.

Following the victory, Harrison stated:
It was an honor for me to share the octagon with her tonight.
I want my title next.
I don’t care if it’s Raquel [Pennington], I don’t care if it’s Julianna [Pena], by the end of the year, I will be UFC champion.
