You will be anchoring the first-ever women’s 155 in MMA for the PFL, which will be broadcasted on ESPN2, ESPN+ and ESPN Deports beginning May 9th. How comfortable are you fighting at that weight and what’s your target?
Kayla Harrison
I’m super comfortable, I don’t believe in weight cutting so for me I’m happy the PFL is starting this. I have big shoulders and I’m ready to take on this challenge.

How do you go about balancing your personal & professional life?
Kayla Harrison
Balance is super important and it’s something I’m still learning. I feel like the older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve improved. When I was younger, I only cared about being the best and winning and that took a toll on my personal life and relationships outside of Judo or the cage. I’m lucky now that I’m in a relationship with a fighter and he understands what it’s like to be in my situation. The older you get the more you realize there’s more to life that can make you happy and whole. But I want it all. I want to be the best fighter in the world, and I want the best life outside the cage. Whether it’s my career or my personal life, I always give 110%.

I wish all women a Happy International Women’s Day. I hope one day we’ll no longer need a day to define women.
