UNCASVILLE, Conn. – The tension between Bellator women’s flyweight champion Liz Carmouche and ex-champ Juliana Velasquez is palpable. Carmouche (17-7 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) upset Velasquez (12-1 MMA, 7-1 BMMA) in April with a fourth-round TKO to win the 125-pound title. Velasquez disputed the stoppage and lobbied to get the loss overturned, but to no avail. She got a rematch, instead – and one that Carmouche doesn’t think she should have gotten without winning another fight first. Thursday, they got face to face at the Bellator 289 ceremonial weigh-ins ahead of their fight at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn
