The Kayla Harrison era has arrived. The two-time Olympic gold medalist finally captured UFC gold at UFC 316 with a submission win over Julianna Peña in the second round of Saturday's co-main event.

Kayla Harrison, the two-time Olympic judo gold medalist and two-time PFL lightweight champion, became a UFC champion with a second-round submission win over bantamweight titleholder Julianna Peña.

Harrison barely had minutes to cool down after a dominant submission win earned her the 135-pound championship — in front of a packed house that included President Donald Trump and former boxer Mike Tyson — when she called out the seemingly retired, former champion and 2025 UFC Hall of Fame inductee Amanda Nunes.
