Cris Cyborg has reacted after Kayla Harrison suffered her first career loss at last night’s 2022 PFL World Championship event.<\/p>\n
Harrison (15-1 MMA), a two-time Olympic gold medalist in Judo, put her undefeated MMA record on the line against Larissa Pacheco (19-4 MMA) in the headliner of yesterday’s 2022 PFL World Championship event<\/a> in New York.<\/p>\n The result was a shocking upset win for the Brazilian standout, who earned a hard-fought unanimous decision victory over her American counterpart (48-47 x3).<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/bjpenndotcom\/status\/1596371013994151938<\/a><\/p>\n Prior to signing on for the 2022 PFL season, Kayla Harrison was attempting to lure Bellator featherweight champion Cris Cyborg into accepting a fight with a winner take all offer.<\/p>\n \u201cWe can do winner takes all, or we can do when she loses, she gets to keep her purse. If she needs help getting the deal signed, I will call (PFL executives) and ask them, whatever price she wants. I will speak to them on her behalf.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Harrison said on the MMA Hour. \u201cI\u2019ll go through a full (U.S. Anti-Doping Agency) drug testing. I will be drug tested every day from now until the fight. And she doesn\u2019t have to be drug tested at all. The only think I ask is that they allow elbows. So,\u00a0I can put one through her skull.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Despite Kayla Harrison’s previous comments, Cris Cyborg was nothing but class while reacting to the Judoka’s first career setback in mixed martial arts.<\/p>\n ‘Justino<\/a>‘ took to Twitter where she issued the following statement on Harrison’s defeat:<\/p>\n Tonight will only make Judo Kayla a better fighter. One thing I learned after going 14 years undefeated is that sometimes you need to lose to become your best. <\/p>\n Kayla will be back and she will grow from this experience. Congrats @pachecolarissa_<\/a> you are a real World Champion \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n — CrisCyborg.Com (@criscyborg) November 26, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
