Kayla Harrison wins as PFL set featherweight and lightweight finals

Kayla Harrison will once again fight for the Professional Fighters League lightweight title on Nov. 25.

The two-time 155-pound champion made short work of Martina Jindrova in the main event of Saturday’s PFL Playoffs 3 in London to make her way to the playoff final. Harrison took Jindrova down early and immediately went to side control. Jindrova did her best but couldn’t withstand the punches of full mount. Harrison took Jindrova down and locked Harrison in the arm triangle choke for the tap. It was just three minutes.

The undefeated Olympian will now face Larissa Pacheco as she attempts to win a third consecutive PFL belt. Larissa defeated Olena Koleskyk in the semifinal. Pacheco, who stopped Kolesnyk when they first met back in 2021, was even quicker this time around to set up a trilogy bout with Harrison. Pacheco has only lost twice since parting ways with the UFC in 2015, both times to Harrison.

The 2022 featherweight playoffs final is set between Brendan Loughnane and Bubba Jenkins, who made their way to the million-dollar championship bout with wins over Chris Wade and Ryoji Kudo on the main card.

*]Loughnane gave a convincing performance against Wade in the second section to take a decisive victory. On the other side of the 145-pound brackets, Jenkins ragdolled Kudo with two suplexes early before taking his back and forcing the tap with a rear-naked choke.

The early part of the main card saw a stunning finish from Dakota Ditcheva. Hassna Jaber was forced to leave in less than a minute, after landing violent knees on the body. Simeon Powell made Simeon use of precise leg kicks in order to give Joao Paulo Fagundes his first loss of the season.
