Liz Carmouche proved she still has power in Bellator. Back in the summer of 2021, Carmouche (18-7 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) picked up her first TKO victory since putting away Jessica Andrade in 2013 during her UFC days, as she quickly dispatched Kana Watanabe in a first-round TKO win at Bellator 261. It was a quick and dominant finish that got a chance to fight for the Bellator women’s flyweight title – an opportunity she made the most of by dethroning then-champ Juliana Velasquez at Bellator 278 last April.
