This evening’s (Thurs., June 21, 2018) Professional Fighters League (PFL) 2 from the Chicago Theater in Chicago, Illinois, was a sneaky-good card flying under the radar.
Much of that was because it featured the awaited MMA debut of highly-touted Olympic judo gold medalist Kayla Harrison. A former training partner and roommate of legendary former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, Harrison was expected to submit opponent Brittney Elkin.
Harrison did just that to start her MMA career off right, using a twisting, turning armbar to score a highly impressive first win. After winning her second judo gold medal in 2016, Harrison shifted to MMA and is currently training at Florida’s American Top Team (ATT) with a plan to eventually fight women’s MMA queen Cris Cyborg in the future. She showed little in the way of striking prowess, getting the clinch and immediately taking the fight to her obvious area of strength, so a bout with Cyborg is understandably a far way off.
For now, watch her submission win in her MMA debut:

Professional Fight League is holding their second event in Chicago on Thursday, and the preliminary portion of the card was action-packed with several former UFC and Bellator fighters picking up impressive victories.
On the main card, former Bellator lightweight champion Will Brooks will meet Luiz Firmino, UFC vet Ramsey Nijem will meet Brian Foster, and Olympic judo medalist Kayla Harrison will make her MMA debut against Brittney Elkin.
Former Bellator middleweight champion Brandon Halsey looked outstanding in his light heavyweight tournament bout against former heavyweight Smealinho Rama, who Halsey stopped via TKO after a cut over Rama’s eye ended the fight at the end of the second round.
Elsewhere on the undercard, former UFC fighter Thiago Tavares lost in bizarre fashion to Robert Watley. Tavares suffered a kick to the groin early into the second round, but the referee deemed the kick accidental, and Watley was awarded the TKO win. Vinny Magalhaes scored a quick submission victory, as well.
PFL features a tournament-based format with a $1 million prize for the winner.
