Budd was a longtime Bellator MMA member before jumping into the PFL last year. She was a Bellator featherweight champion in her time there and successfully defended her title three times.


Budd's replacement, Kaitlin Young, has a 12-12 Pro MMA record, the last to beat Budd last year by consensus.


A former Bellator featherweight champion, Budd's 2022 season did not start as planned, as she handed over a three-round decision to overweight Fabian in PFL 3.

Harrison improved her professional mark to 13-0 in PFL 3 on May 6, as she set out for a unanimous victory over Mokhnatkina. The two-time Olympic gold medalist has won all but one of her victories under the PFL banner and has completed 10 of them within a distance.
