Larissa Pacheco recently shared her thoughts on Kayla Harrison beating Ketlen Vieira at UFC 307 last weekend. She lauded the former PFL star for getting the job done despite not being a "complete" fighter.
Harrison is widely considered among the most dominant female combat sports athletes in the world today and has an impressive professional MMA record of 18-1, suffering her sole career loss against Pacheco in their trilogy fight at PFL 10 in 2022. Harrison notably outpointed Pacheco in both of their previous meetings.
Pacheco is now booked to face Bellator women's featherweight champion Cris Cyborg at the PFL Super Fights: Battle of the Giants event later this month. Ahead of her upcoming test, the PFL star spoke to Sportskeeda MMA in an exclusive interview and discussed her former rival's latest victory. She said:

"We were all cheering for Ketlen. However, a result for Kayla is a good result for us. We knew going in that she would have the same game plan. She's not a very complete athlete, but what she does, she does absolutely perfectly. You know, in the cage, grappling and the judo, that's her game 100%, and she played it perfectly, and she came out with a win."

Larissa Pacheco shares her prediction for a potential Julianna Pena vs. Kayla Harrison fight
In the same interview, Larissa Pacheco also shared her thoughts on how a potential Julianna Pena vs. Kayla Harrison fight would go. The Brazilian didn't expect the showdown to excite fans and predicted a rather "boring" affair.
Pena defeated Raquel Pennington at UFC 307 via split decision and won the women's bantamweight championship for the second time in her career. Given that Harrison beat Ketlen Vieira earlier that evening and had been calling for a title shot for a long time, many expect a Pena-Harrison fight to go down next.
Speaking to Sportskeeda MMA, Pacheco broke down a potential fight between the two UFC stars and detailed why she didn't expect to see any fireworks in their bout. She said:
"I think they've got a very similar style. A boring style. The style that she's [Harrison] got in the game plan is always exactly the same. Grab hold, stay on top, stay in control, and hold on for dear life, basically. I can see it's not going to be a very exciting fight. If that's what's going to happen next, fair enough."
