We finally get to hear from an actual PFL fighter about all this!
Love Kayla, always a pleasure to hear from her. Inspirational woman. Wish her all the success 👏🏽👏🏽
I never cared much for Kayla until i saw this interview. I never really watched her interview before. Kayla youre the real one, God bless, i'm thrilled you have found peace.
She looks 50 crazy what a few years do.
I dont agree. Shes just brolic lol
She’s a former world champion not a model. Athletes have muscles, grow up.
Man, I hope I look that good at 40, let alone 50.
She’s been taking steroids for the past 10-15 years, of corse she’s not going to look like she’s in her mid 30s
@@winterblanco7328 I was talking about her looks not her physique casual relax.
First time listening to her and really like her personality and optimism. Rooting for her next fight!
Cyborg fight will be huge 🔥🔥
Cant even beat that pachenko chick, kayla is just a can crusher lets be honest😂
Larry's a guy.
I was blown away. She's such an inspiration 😍
That is the best quality camera I have ever seen
This dude has fought cans at PFL and lost the last… who cares…
Conceive, Achieve and Believe.
Kayla 💪💪💪 Love the relationship / banter between Kayla & Ariel !!! 👌
Go Kayla!
amazing 💙💙
Kayla vs. Cyborg for the Bellator belt would be tremendous.
Kaylas a real one! True words spoken from the heart!
Cyborg vs Kayla at 155 could be the most explosive WMMA fight of all time
I popped for steroids just thinking about that fight
You could not even name 2 sarms
Love me some Kayla. She been through hell and back and still stays positive 🙏🏽
The other day Cris Cyborg woke from a terrible dream... PFL had bought Bellator and she was walking out to fight Kayla Harrison for her retirement fight. The negotiations echoed in her roid addled brain "You'll take what we give you, we're competing with the UFC now! Just be glad we didn't sign Nunes or you'd be heading back home in pieces, stuffed into her suitcases. Be glad we're giving you one last six figure beat down and then ef off!" Little did the big bosses of the PFL know, sitting smug in the golden thrones five thousand miles away in desert, but Cyborg made a little trip to Mexico before the fight and she was jacked up and good to go. Kayla Lesner, the sweet, natty, former champ was about to take the beat down of her life. A messenger was dispatched and he whispered two horrifying words in Cyborg's ear "remember Khashoggi". So Cyborg went out on her shield like a good girl and then slunk back to America to follow int he footsteps of her former nemesis, only to be told, "Girl, you might want to try Lucha Libre"
you can sense the regret in her that she passed on ufc
ufc doesnt have a 145 pound womens division. if they had a roster around it sure, maybe
UFC won't pay her.
She enjoys fighting lesser opponents and cans in the PFL, she knows she could make millions in the ufc if she believed in her skill set and could rise to the top but she doesn’t and she’s happy getting paid to fight bums in the PFL
@@1975Adamdthe ufc doesn't have 145.
What are y’all talking about? She never had the chance to go to the UFC. The PFL has always had her under contract. They had the option to match anyone’s offer. Which they have so the UFC was never an option. People need to do their research before they comment!!
Kayla Harrison WOW
Kayla is amazing i love her amd Ariels dynamic.. haha hilarious
Kayla is in a good place, mentally, emotionally and ready to fight! She was correct to resign with PFL!
She was correct! Get pay checks for fighting cans in the PFL and when she fought someone half way decent she lost… she’s not a fighter
@@1975Adamd Yes she is, she’s amazing and would easily whoop you in real life too 😊
I like the last 3 minutes.
I like when Kayla puts Ariel on the spot lol. She’s a real one for sure
Now she’s signed to UFC
she looks like woody harrelson in that jack nicholson film, i forgot the name
Kayla and MVP should fight for the undisputed canweight belt
Love Kayla. Really hope she joins UFC. And she LOOKS AMAZING. Gorgeous.
cyborg is quakinggg
Realest in the game
damn, just became a kayla fan. gonna tap into all her fights. saw the highlights and she go brazy. glad we're gonna see a lot more of PFL and sure I'll tune in wherever she ends up fighting.
I have no Instagram, Twitter or X or anything along those lines but I would join one of them just to reach out to Kayla just to say "Do you"..! And Thank you for keeping it Real..💯💯💯
Cyborg don't want that smoke.🎉🎉😂
Kayla no can box.😃
"looks like a man"??? WTF!!! She is gorgeous in and outside! Keep it up!
kayla /cyborg.... tank on ppv, promise but good luck to all
Ok who let out one of Colby's horses now! I told you guys to close that gate!

Ducking Cris Cyborg.
Everything sounds so rehearsed. Not every interview has to be a motivational speech. Just seems like she's playing a role instead of letting the walls down and being real.
This kid has become a global treasure. I hope she returns with fireworks and gets the belt back next year if she doesn't leave PFL. Her last fight had arguably the best display of grappling in woman's MMA.
Global treasure 😂 she fights C level competition in the PFL with their weak rule set… and even with that weak rule set and trash competition she still lost her last fight…
What do u mean kid lol
@@1975Adamdyour forgetting her Judo career.
@@gajorg69 yeah I think we all have 😂 she’s forgettable
@@1975Adamd She would knock you out. Stop hating.
Wow that was rich of Ariel to say why do you have to stir the pot 😂 from the king of stirring the pot… the weasel at his finest
Hard not to root for this woman.
Kayla cannot beat strikers like Rousey could not - she will never beat Pacheco if they fight again
Starting to look like triple H there.
is it jst me or wen women tlk bout their pst struggles the cme off as victims bt wen men do it.. its victorious
Time to see her get exposed😂
What do you mean?
Ya she’s already Ben exposed 😂
@@jasiahperez9547 hey big boy you know what I mean. Cyborg is a far bigger name than larissa Pacheco. No disrespect to her. But exposed by elite talent is what I meant
@@rafacereceres1316 Not a chance. Kayla would dominate Cyborg if they fight
Why call her kid'. Ar you Dana ... shes millionaire mom' taking care of alot of things, with full inspiration
Cyborg TKOs this delusional one dimensional Wrestler inside 2 rds
She's not a wrestler dude. She's a judoka.
Cyborg will destroy her
In the cage she dances, a warrior divine, Kayla Harrison, a force, a paradigm. A goddess of MMA, fierce and bold, In the arena, her story unfolds. With strength and grace, she enters the fray, A master of combat, night or day. Her spirit ablaze, a relentless fire, In the realm of battle, she'll never tire. Judo's embrace, a foundation strong, In the clinch and grapple, where she belongs. A goddess in motion, a sight to behold, Stories of victory, in history, told. With every strike, a symphony composed, A dance of power, where her prowess is exposed. Her hands, like lightning, her kicks, a storm, In the MMA world, a true unicorn. Kayla Harrison, a name in the stars, A warrior poet, both near and far. In the cage, a goddess, fierce and true, A tribute to you, in this verse, we strew.
wtf your weird huh 😂
@@illrhymes25 there’s some crazy weirdos on the internet brother, shouldn’t be surprised
I like it
@@rrai- It is a nice poem, still weird though
Couldn't sit through more than a few minutes sorry
BO BO BAAD FROM BILOXI, WHEREVER 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
14k views 2 months ago with a baddie like kayla... i think its time Ariel pass the torch fam ur akward...
And no one will ever care. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ because pfl is the c league.
Juiced to the gills is an understatement. This woman is the biggest cheat in WMMA, she makes cyborg look normal. Kayla should be banned for life
She can't make 135
Cyborg is washed up sorry🤷🏼♂️ go to UFC best women MMA hands down fight Amanda Nunes let's see how that goes for u
Watch out kayla... This weirdo will turn on you as soon as it goes bad just one time and has been shown to lie and try to destroy the reputation of the people he doesn't like
lol what 😂
Stop jamahal
Examples my dude, give us some examples.
@@jimmy31hendrix if you paid attention you'd realize how dumb that question was
@@paullee9277 ah, as I suspected, you got nothing.
