PFL lightweight champion Kayla Harrison will get her wish to stay active.
Harrison (7-0) will drop down to 145 pounds for the first time in her career when she takes on Courtney King in the Invicta FC 43 co-main event Nov. 20 in Kansas City, Mo. The event streams on UFC Fight Pass.
The undefeated two-time Olympic gold medalist judoka hasn’t competed since December 2019, when she defeated Larissa Pacheco to win the PFL lightweight season.
With the PFL on hold for the entire 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Harrison will compete under the Invicta FC banner before returning in April for the 2021 PFL season.
The current Invicta 43 lineup includes:
- Emily Ducote vs. Montserrat Ruiz – for strawweight title
- Kayla Harrison vs. Courtney King
- Stephanie Geltmacher vs. Caitlin Sammons
- Hope Chase vs. Brittney Cloudy
- Alexa Culp vs. Meaghan Penning
- Kendal Holowell vs. Juliana Miller
