Former UFC title challenger Liz Carmouche came within seconds of scoring a submission win over Akiko Sawada, but with time expiring just before the tap, “Girl-Rilla” still propelled Team 10th Planet to tournament victory at Quintet Fight Night 3. Carmouche and her crew topped Team BJJ Kunoichi in the finals of the team-based grappling event, which took place Sunday at Arena Tachikawa Tachihi in Tokyo and streamed live on UFC Fight Pass. With Carmouche enjoying a 21-pound weight advantage over Sawada, their matchup was slated for just four minutes rather than the standard eight-minute stanza. An aggressive Carmouche was able to work to full mount in the opening seconds and nearly latched in an Ezekiel choke to end the bout
