The two-time Olympic judo champion's victory lifted her into the number one contender spot for Julianna Pena's bantamweight title.
Harrison has fought most of her MMA career at lightweight (155lb) but competes at 135lbs in the UFC.
The 34-year-old secured a points win, but thought her performance was affected by her health issues going into the contest.
"I need to take a little bit of time off just because of the weight cut and the process that it is for my body," Harrison told TMZ.
"I’m just not built to weigh 135lb. Anytime I get under the 150s, it’s not pleasant.
"The first time [I fought in the UFC] was [the] fear of, like, 'Can I do it?'
"This time it was fear of, like, 'Oh God, I have to do it'. The anticipation. But I'm blessed. I have such a good team."
