Two-time Olympic judo gold medalist and PFL lightweight champion for the 2019 and 2021 seasons, American Kayla Harrison has published a post on social media commenting on her move to the UFC.
When I started competing, my goal was to be the best…the Olympic champion of MMA. The UFC presents me with the opportunity to be just that. It’s been an amazing journey to reach this point, and I’m grateful for every step along the path. The highs and lows have all shaped me and made me an even better version of myself. God’s timing is perfect, and I am sure of one thing: My time is now.
