Two-time Olympic judo gold medalist and the reigning UFC women's bantamweight champion, having taken the belt from Julianna Peña at UFC 316. She overwhelms opponents with clinch entries, trips, and suffocating top control, finishing most fights by submission or ground strikes. A planned superfight with Amanda Nunes at UFC 324 was scrapped after Harrison needed neck surgery; she is expected back late in 2026.
