Kayla Harrison says the 2022 PFL season might be her last.<\/p>\n

Harrison, who previously tested free agency, is looking to become a three-time PFL champion.\u00a0Now, ahead of her semifinal fight, Harrison revealed she is getting tired of the season format and may just have one-off fights before leaving the PFL to go after big fights.<\/p>\n

“I’m not getting young, for sure, I think that going through this season especially, there\u2019s been some other stuff behind the scenes going on, whatever, life is life there is always something going on But, 14, by the time I’m done with the season it will be 16 fights in, it\u2019ll be time to maybe start (looking elsewhere),” Harrison said to MMA Underground<\/a>. “I want the big fights. I’ve been doing what you would call seasons, I\u2019ve been training twice a day since I was 12 years old. So it\u2019s been 20 years now of putting my body through the mill… I want the big fights, and if that means I have to be patient and wait and not compete in a season, then I\u2019ll be patient and wait. It\u2019s not about money, it\u2019s about legacy and it\u2019s about testing myself against the best. So I think this would probably be my last season.”<\/p>\n

Although she has run through the PFL and has collected two million so far, Harrison has been clear that she wants legacy fights. One big fight is the bout against Cris Cyborg<\/a>, while she isn’t opposed to staying with the PFL, she would rather do one-off fights than the season.<\/p>\n

Kayla Harrison is set to meet Martina Jindrova in the main event of PFL 9 on August 20. She’s coming off a first-round TKO win over Kaitlin Young and prior to that, beat Marina Mokhnatkina by decision in the season-opener.<\/p>\n
