Larissa Pacheco heard all the can’t-win-the-big-one talk and turned that narrative on its head.
No fight on the card generated more buzz than the main event, which saw Larissa Pacheco upset Kayla Harrison to capture the women’s lightweight championship and a $1 million payout.
“She was just extremely physical this fight,” Harrison said at the post-fight press conference. “I feel like it was a different person in there, to be honest. She was much bigger, much stronger than I recalled, much more patient, obviously. There were a couple times she flurried and blitzed, but she kept her conditioning really well. She did a great job. She’s a champion.”
