Larissa Pachecho rips MMA trolls “I don’t wear girly clothes, get used to it.”

Larissa Pacheco isn’t going to sit around and let asshole MMA fans make fun of her appearance, especially after the biggest night of her life.

Pacheco exacted her revenge on Kayla Harrison at the PFL 2022 Championships on Nov. 25, 2022, inside the Hulu Theater, winning via a unanimous decision to collect the PFL lightweight title and a million dollars (watch highlights here).

But Harrison wasn’t the only person Pacheco was “fighting” this week. She was also fighting toxic MMA trolls on social media that were making fun of her appearance and calling her a man.

Pachecho didn’t hide from the mean comments; however, she responded to the trolls head-on.

“Why isn’t it fair? Because I didn’t wear a dress? There are no issues. You guys don’t get to identify me; I’m very conscious that I don’t look like the type of woman you are used to seeing. But there is no difference between [Kayla and I]; everything she has, I also have. My ability as an athlete brought me here, not my sexual orientation,” Pachecho wrote on Instagram when someone said the fight between her and Harrison wouldn’t be fair “since it’s a guy against a woman.”

The Brazilian expanded on her response, “I don’t have issues with that, like I said, I think mutual respect is important. I’m here because of my abilities as an athlete. I’m here representing me, my country, and my state. So I’m very proud, and I hope to have the support of whoever truly likes this sport and wants to see our country on top again.”

After winning the 2022 PFL season by becoming the first fighter to defeat Harrison, Pachecho made it a point to slam the trolls who had been making fun of her all week in an interview with Ag.Fight.

“I think ‘sofa criticism’ is for those who don’t do s—t in their homes, you know? So they use the internet to piss people off, people who are working, doing something,” Pachecho said. “Get up and do something, dude. Judging me by the way I look? What can I do about that? I don’t have long hair, I don’t wear girly clothes, and I won’t do that because they are complaining. They will have to get used to it.”
