Who is Harrison
Judo is the base Kayla Harrison built her fighting style on, and that base now travels with her through the UFC bantamweight ranks. American Top Team provides the training environment, and she represents the United States in the division. A 19-1 professional MMA record shows how effectively that judo background has translated into mixed martial arts: the wins include knockouts, submissions and decisions, so her wins are not confined to a single method. The 2026 season finds her active at bantamweight, with UFC competition and American Top Team as the current framework. The judo influence stays visible in her MMA approach, and American Top Team is the training constant. Judo remains the thread, linking a United States career, UFC bantamweight competition and American Top Team training.
