Larissa Pacheco criticizes PFL for “Uncalled for” treatment of Kayla Harrison in recent fight promo

Larissa Pacheco defends Kayla Harrison against questionable PFL promo

In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Pacheco was critical of the PFL’s treatment of Harrison.

“I thought that was uncalled for, honestly,” Pacheco said. “I think [PFL] have the champion they deserve, they have a respectful champion, who has defeated Kayla, so why do that? Promote me right. Let’s promote the champion. ‘Oh, but Larissa beat Kayla.’ You don’t need that. I’ve shown [my work] with other results, I’ve proven myself, so you don’t need that…

“But anyway, that’s not on me. I have nothing to do with that. I respect Kayla. Our rivalry is over right now because she’s in another organization. Had she stayed here it would be the two of us and Cris clashing heads here, but there’s no reason to talk [about her now]. I wish her good luck. The more she wins, the bigger my win over her gets, so I’ll always cheer for her.”

Pacheco and Harrison clashed three times in the PFL tenures. Harrison won their first two fights before Pacheco pulled off the all-time PFL upset at the 2022 PFL Championship.
