Kayla Harrison opens up on her decision win over Ketlen Vieira at UFC 307: “It just wasn’t the performance I was hoping for”

Harrison voices frustration

“It just wasn’t the performance I was hoping for,” she told ESPN’s Megan Olivi. “I just felt a little flat tonight. Couldn’t string some stuff together. A little bit frustrated with my performance. You know, my team makes a lot of sacrifices. Everyone really puts in a lot of effort in order for me to to be here. So I just I feel like I let them down a little bit.”

“It more just being able to just kinda opening up and unleashing,” she said on what wasn’t working. “For whatever reason, I wasn’t able to do that tonight as much as I want to. I know I’m my own harshest critic, but I have to be the best on my worst day.”
