Now, a UFC champion. Kayla Harrison has a new trophy for the case. In the UFC 316 co-main event Saturday at Prudential Center, Harrison (19-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) earned gold in emphatic fashion as she submitted Julianna Peña with a kimura at 4:55 of Round 2.

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.

Kayla Harrison dominated and submitted Julianna Peña for the UFC women's bantamweight title and will face former champion Amanda Nunes for her first defense.
