Highlights:
The Kayla Harrison show continued tonight (Thurs. August 19, 2021),
which is to say PFL’s women’s Lightweight tournament moved another step forward with its semi-final match ups. In the main event, two-time Olympic Judo gold medalist Kayla Harrison squared off with Kiwi kickboxer Genah Fabian.
Fabian tried to keep moving from bottom position, but she was stuck in a tough dilemma between punches and the potential armbar. As Fabian tried to scramble, Harrison flattened out her opponent from back mount, securing the wrist ride and pounding away until the referee called the contest.
Vs Genah Fabian:
Genah Fabian‘s phone rang the night of May 23. It was a video call from Carlos Ulberg, her teammate at City Kickboxing in New Zealand.
For nearly a week, Fabian had been distraught.
Fau Vake, another teammate, was clinging to life in a Wellington hospital after being brutally assaulted six days earlier in downtown Auckland. Fabian was in Las Vegas preparing for her second fight of the Professional Fighters League (PFL) regular season, unable to return home.
