PFL Championships live results: Kayla Harrison vs. Larissa Pacheco 3
PFL Championships live results.
For the first time in its history, the Professional Fighters League (PFL) will be broadcasting on PFL when it airs the 2022 PFL Championships — the finale of the 2022 PFL season — on ESPN+ PPV live from The Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
The main event will feature the face of the PFL, Kayla Harrison, looking for her third straight PFL women’s lightweight championship, as she takes on a familiar foe in Larissa Pacheco.
The two previously faced off twice, both times in the 2019 season, with Harrison winning a three- and five-round decision — the latter of which came in the 2019 title fight.
Harrison’s 2022 campaign has seen her score a decision over Marina Mokhnatkina and a first-round TKO of Kaitlin Young before submitting Martina Jindrova in the semifinals. Pacheco, meanwhile, comes in off three straight first-round TKOs against Zamzagul Fayzallanova, Genah Fabian and Olena Kolesnyk.
The five male divisions will be topped in the co-main event, as Brendan Loughnane and Bubba Jenkins face off for the 2022 PFL featherweight championship.
After falling short in last year’s semifinals, Loughnane reached this year’s championship with wins over Ryoji Kudo and Ago Huskic during the regular season and Chris Wade in the playoffs. Jenkins, meanwhile, defeated Kyle Bochniak and Reinaldo Ekson in the season before besting Kudo in their semifinal bout.
The other championships fights will see Ante Delija and Matheus Scheffel facing off for the heavyweight title, Stevie Ray and Olivier Aubin-Mercier battling for the lightweight title, Sadibou Sy and Dilano Taylor fighting for the welterweight title and Rob Wilkinson vs. Omari Akhmedov for the PFL light heavyweight title.
The pay-per-view card will also feature a women’s featherweight bout between former Bellator champion Julia Budd and UFC veteran Aspen Ladd. The prelims will be topped by a second encounter between Sheymon Moraes and former UFC bantamweight title challenger and WSOF (the predecessor to PFL) bantamweight champion Marlon Moraes.
