Harrison became the first American to win a gold medal in judo at the 2012 Olympic Games in London and repeated the feat with another gold-medal triumph in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. She made her MMA debut at PFL 2 on June 21, submitting Brittney Elkin with an armbar 3:18 into the opening stanza.
Anchored at the Premiere Combat Center, Cotton has compiled an 8-1 career mark that includes one triumph under the Bellator MMA banner. The 30-year-old known as “The #1 Headbusta” has finished four of her victories by knockout or technical knockout.
