Kayla Harrison to Make UFC Debut
Kayla Harrison, the two-time Olympic gold medalist in judo, has officially signed with the UFC and will be making her debut at UFC 300 .

She has fought some of the toughest opponents in both boxing and MMA, but she has yet to face someone like Harrison.
Kayla Harrison, with a record of 16-1 and 12 finishes, is known for her dominant grappling skills and ground-and-pound. Despite primarily competing at lightweight, she will be making the jump to bantamweight for this fight. If she can deliver another standout performance against Holm, she could be on the path to challenging for the 135 lbs title.
