When it comes to her 2022, flyweight Liz Carmouche sees the year as a success not so much for winning a Bellator championship, but for the fact that she had to win two fights to prove she did it. She returns for her next defense at Bellator 294 on Friday. After Carmouche’s title win over Juliana Velasquez in April of 2022 was questioned because of how it was stopped, the two rematched in December with Carmouche coming away with the unanimous decision victory.
