· VILLAND PICK editorial
Liz Carmouche took decisive measures on the scale Thursday ahead of Friday's PFL event in Chicago, shaving her head to ensure she hit the championship mark for the vacant PFL women's flyweight title. The former Bellator champion officially weighed in at exactly 125 pounds for the main event clash.
Her opponent, Jena Bishop, also made weight without issue, registering at 124.6 pounds, slightly below the divisional championship limit. The upcoming headliner serves as a rematch between the two fighters, who previously met inside the cage in August 2025.
The 42-year-old Carmouche enters the championship bout riding a four-fight winning streak. She has finished three of her opponents during that span, including a victory over former UFC ranked contender Viviane Araujo in her most recent bout this past June. According to official weigh-in results, the remainder of the PFL Chicago card also made weight successfully.
