"Maybe I really could be one of the greatest of all time. Who doesn't want to be a legend, right?"
~ Kayla Harrison
Mixed martial artist and a renowned (2 times Olympic gold-medalist), Judoka, Kayla Harrison is as intimidating a woman as ever has walked on this earth. Something about her say size, strength, and expertise. Her MMA stats list her at 5'8". After looking her up and comparing her to some other people, we have to say that she can appear to be shorter than she really is because of her build - wide shoulders, thick limbs, etc. That said, we do think she is closer to 5'7" than 5'8".
If you are looking for a female Yoel Romero, look no farther than her. Kayla's offseason weight is 165 lb (75 kg), so making 145 lb (65 kg) for her is a challenge - and she doesn't even want to, because she believes it is a bad practice (which it is). Her reach is 66 inches.
The real height of Kayla Harrison is
5'7" or 170 cm
