The use of elbows dramatically increased the danger posed by Kayla Harrison’s ground-and-pound.

Harrison won the second one 10-9 to take a 20-18 lead, but the damage was done. How does that affect the third? #UFC307

People are going to be very critical of Harrison here (I think they are), but, well, she’s come through some tough fights against very good opponents.
This is the answer to anyone wondering about the strength of her schedule and how she would fare against top-end UFC matches. #UFC307

All Kayla.
There was some adversity with a hematoma at the end of the second time, but she was too tough.
Next is the title shot.
