Liz Carmouche vs Jena Bishop

📣 This marks the second meeting between these fighters. Their first clash ended with Carmouche scoring a third-round TKO victory last August. Since then, Liz has kept her momentum going, submitting Viviane Araujo in the second round this June. Bishop, meanwhile, has also shown significant improvement—she submitted Borena Cerqvadze in April before catching Ariane Lipski with an armbar. Both of the American’s recent wins came inside the opening round. The PFL flyweight championship will be on the line in this rematch.

Bishop will no doubt look to lean on her Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu pedigree, which has earned her seven submission victories so far. However, Carmouche already proved in their first encounter that she can neutralize Bishop’s grappling and create openings for effective striking. What’s more, Liz is a threat on the mat herself and has never been finished by knockout in her career. Her edge in championship experience, physicality, and all-round skill set makes her a convincing pick to take the rematch. My prediction: Liz Carmouche to win.
