Kayla Harrison, ranked No. 1 in the MMA Fighting Global women’s bantamweight rankings, secured her first win of 2025 and showcased her skills by taking down a prankster YouTuber during a training session.
Kayla Harrison’s kicking off 2025 with a bang—she’s snagged her first win of the year. Currently, she’s sitting pretty at No. 1 in the MMA Fighting Global women’s bantamweight rankings. It’s looking like she might be next in line to face off against Julianna Peña for the 135-pound title sometime this year. But hey, nothing’s set in stone yet.
Still, our two-time Olympic gold medalist isn’t just twiddling her thumbs; she’s keeping those skills razor-sharp. And one cheeky YouTuber got a firsthand taste of that sharpness recently. Oh boy, did he!
In a social media clip that’s making the rounds, ImReddTV tried to pull a fast one on Kayla during a training session. He stepped into the cage, all swagger, claiming he had some moves to teach her. But Kayla? She wasn’t buying it. She coolly told him to “bow to your sensei” before flipping him over with a slick o goshi hip throw.
Once she had him on the ground, she moved into mount position and pretended to throw punches while ImReddTV was quick to shout, “It’s just a prank!” But Kayla wasn’t done—she locked in an armbar for good measure.
ImReddTV’s no stranger to pranking UFC fighters, though. A while back, he almost found himself in hot water during a stunt with Jamahal Hill. You’d think he’d learn!
