PFL women’s lightweight champion Kayla Harrison has given some important self-defense advice to women who are being attacked.<\/p>\n

In the wake of the recent video showing boxing prospect Gervonta Davis<\/a> getting physical with his ex-girlfriend, TMZ Sports<\/a> caught up with Harrison — one of the best women’s MMA fighters on the planet — and asked her what women should do if they are in a situation where they are being attacked.<\/p>\n

Here’s the advice that Harrison gave.<\/p>\n

“If someone puts your hands on you, well, first of all, I would go for a nutshot right away. Anything that’s dirty, nasty, mean, bite. I mean if it’s a very serious situation and you’re in danger, save yourself by any means necessary. Scream. Instead of screaming rape or whatever, scream fire. People will run to help someone at a fire, people don’t run to help someone when they say rape,” Harrison said.<\/p>\n

Considering the advice is coming from Harrison, a former Olympic gold medalist in judo and a champion in PFL, it’s sound advice that anyone should follow if they are in the kind of situation that Harrison described above.<\/p>\n

The PFL women’s lightweight champion won the promotion’s inaugural 155lbs title at the PFL Championship event on New Year’s Eve when she won a decision over Larissa Pacheco in the finals<\/a>. She previously defeated Bobbi Jo Dalziel in the semifinals to advance to the finals of the tournament.<\/p>\n

Overall, Harrison is a perfect 7-0 since beginning her MMA career in 2018, with all seven of her pro fights coming under the PFL banner. PFL is expected to have a big year in its third season and is expected to sign several big-name free agents<\/a> so perhaps PFL could find some quality talent on the free-agent wire to challenge Harrison next season.<\/p>\n
