Harrison (6-0) dominated Dalziel throughout the match and then went for her signature armbar finish to force the tap from Dalziel, who was stepping in as a replacement after originally scheduled semifinalist Genah Fabian withdrew due to health concerns.

Harrison advances to the PFL women’s lightweight finals on New Years Eve in New York where she will rematch Larissa Pacheco. In their first meeting in May, Harrison defeated Pacheco by unanimous decision.

Harrison won gold medals in the 2012 and 2016 Olympics
