wow what an amazing story of courage, strength and beauty
I liked her before, but now i like her even more!
Ok Kayla just became my absolute favorite UFC fighter. What a tremendous women. Now go get your belt champ.👏👍
Respect
I love her story WOW what a life of triumph and perseverance
Now that I know Kayla was a victim of SA, Arman's comments about her at the press conference seems really in very very poor taste

It was poor taste regardless of her past.
I am a retired psychologist and wish to share that no matter what happened to you by a sick person it does not define who you are in your heart and soul. Clearly you Kayla are acting on this truth in your life. Congratulations. I also have a Nidan in judo and I loved every minute for so many years of this discipline. Confidence and loving yourself is the key.

I have so much respect for her. I didn’t know anything in your life. I am so glad you survived. Thank you for sharing.
She's from my hometown we've had a couple great sports legends Kayla Harrison, Cris Carter,Todd Bell, Jerry Lucas, Kyle Schwarber all out of our small little city between Dayton and Cincinnati Ohio Middletown oh, always been proud to be able to say I lived in same city as one of The baddest bishhes on the planet 😉✌️
True Champion. Heart of gold.
Gotta respect Kayla, such a beast
Let’s go kayla
Dang that’s one strong person 🫡🥋
Wow she really opened up here.
My favorite Judoka!!! Oss 🤙🏿
American hero
What a powerful woman. UFC gold awaits but she's already won in life.
What an incredible person. I’m now a fan 🤙🏽
Shes a great role model for a lot of people not just boys or girls but people.
People stop saying she looks old. Suffering from mental health has a huge impact on some 1
Its going to suck to see either Holm or Harrison lose. Both real women that you can root for.
women could be having a full blown title fight in a living room, and the guy on the couch could be like 'cmon, knock it off ffs'
Kayla is great for women’s MMA but if she loses to Holly all the hype is gone

Exactly
I'm rooting for Holly. I hope HH is working one of those Rocky film workouts as everyone says she has no chance, just need one big pinch. I always like the underdog. Nothing against Kayla but have never heard of her before.
❤️💪👍
lets go! KH
Yeah once I heard about her adopting her nieces at a moments notice, thats the shit right there, Fan for life.
"WOW" I'm certainly an immediate fan-
Obviously horrible what happened to her, but if that didnt happen, she might not be who she is today. She def turned a negative to a positive. Great story.

Holly is 42. The UFC is that desperate for 135 pounders that draw.
You cant leave your kids with anyone but realistically how were her parents to stay at every class x2 day with jobs and other kids..
Kayla is amazing but I just dont see how she can be at her best after that weight cut.
Impossible holly win this
What a gal:)
Was not expecting her voice to be that high pitched 😂

Great wife material 💯
I like her fighting, am a fan, but after years and years of this “feel sorry for me” videos about people it has opposite effect on me. First show what are you about in UFC, show how great you are and then I want to know your heartbreaking story. I am glad she fulfilled her dreams, but chill now. I needed to say this to everybody in this comment section 😂

I often see women who like to wrestle or practice whit man. This is wrong,It will inevitably cause a arausal in man wich unbelievable amount of self control This is why man almost always reject it . Its now even mans fault,It your fault,You wanted to pratice judo whit him despite knowing better. Man dont like praticing combat sports whit women out of a simple reason....the arausal problem
Ronda holds 2 wins over Kayla in Judo. Ronda was a better Judoka period. Kayla won gold in a weight class with much lesser competition. Also, Ronda won a bronze in a much harder division while being injured
