Karate Combat: Pacheco Returns with Knockout Victory

Published May 3, 2026 · Updated May 3, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Larissa Pacheco made a triumphant return to competition at Karate Combat 61, scoring a vicious knockout victory over Julia Stasiuk with a powerful elbow strike.

The Brazilian fighter, competing for the first time since October 2024, completely outclassed Stasiuk with the impressive striking that made her a 2023 PFL champion and earned her a previous win over current UFC bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison.

Pacheco bounced back from a loss to Cris Cyborg that ended her 10-fight win streak. The 31-year-old Brazilian, who recently parted ways with PFL, showed no mercy as she landed an overhead elbow to Stasiuk's head followed by several devastating punches against the Karate Combat wall. newsbetting.club
