Kayla Harrison previously had been announced to fight at PFL 11. Now she has an opponent.
Harrison (2-0), the two-time Olympic gold medalist in judo, will take on Moriel Charneski (3-4) at the NBCSN-televised event Dec. 31 from the Hulu Theatre at Madison Square Garden in New York, according to an ESPN.com report.
Charneski, 29, hasn’t fought this year. Her most recent fight took place last December, which she won by second-round TKO. The victory snapped a two-fight skid, which included a unanimous-decision loss to recent Invicta FC featherweight title challenger Pam Sorenson.
As an amateur, Charneski fought current UFC strawweight champion Rose Namajunas in 2012, losing by unanimous decision (you can watch below).
Harrison, 28, will look to move to 3-0. She’s had a smooth road so far in her MMA career. She won her pro debut by first-round submission at PFL 2 in January, then followed up with a third-round TKO victory at PFL 6 in August. The fight with Charneski figures to serve as a tune-up before Harrison takes part in the PFL women’s lightweight tournament slated for next year.
In addition to Harrison’s anticipated fight, PFL 11 is the culmination of the promotion’s 2018 playoffs, with six final bouts from six different weight classes scheduled. Each winner will take home $1 million.
The PFL 11 lineup now includes:
