There wasn’t a lot of opportunity for movement in the rankings to open the next decade.
But nevertheless, we’re starting 2020 with some movement on the women’s pound-for-pound list. And who knows where the new entrant will be on that chart later this decade.
Kayla Harrison became the PFL’s first women’s millionaire by winning the 2019 women’s lightweight season on New Year’s Eve with a decision over Larissa Pacheco. And while she hasn’t had as many opportunities for fights against big-name competition as her counterparts in lower weight classes, her unbeaten record still warrants a spot on the pound-for-pound list, even though we don’t currently chart women’s lightweights.
Let MMA Junkie’s own “Gorgeous” George Garcia and John Morgan walk you through that change and more in the video above.
