Harrison, the 2012 and 2016 gold winner at 78 kg, will face Morgan Frier in a lightweight regular-season matchup at PFL 2019, Week 4, which will be an ESPN+ and ESPN 2-broadcast card emanating from Atlantic City, N.J. MMA Junkie confirmed an initial ESPN report with a source with knowledge of the proceedings.
Harrison (4-0 MMA) defeated Larissa Pachecho via unanimous decision at PFL 2019, Week 1, which gave her three points in the PFL’s regular season standings. Frier (4-2 MMA) lost to former Strikeforce bantamweight champion Sarah Kaufman on the same card.
Additionally, two other bouts were announced for the card. Defending welterweight champion Magomed Magomedkerimov (23-5) will square off with Chris Curtis(21-5) at the event, and in another welterweight bout, 2018 finalist Ray Cooper III (18-6 MMA) meets up with veteran John Howard (27-15-1).
The July 11 card will determine which competitors in the men’s welterweight and women’s lightweight division qualify for the playoffs in their respective divisions. The top eight welterweights and top four lightweights advance.
