Kayla Harrison: Fighting, farming and family
Kayla Harrison has always been a fighter, both inside and out of the sporting arena. The double Olympic gold medal winning judoka now completes in mixed martial arts in the UFC.
Twelve years on from her first gold in London and just months after her debut in the UFC, Kayla has been reflecting on her career and the challenges she has had to face outside sport.
She's been telling Sportshour's Joel Hammer how she now splits her time between training and competing and spending time with her children on the farm they live on.
