Pacheco (23-4) shocked the world by beating Kayla Harrison in 2022 in the PFL lightweight tournament. She has since won four straight in dominant fashion, winning the 2023 PFL featherweight tournament last November.

Pacheco will not let time off or the age gap play a factor in what could be her tough.
