Liz Carmouche Shaves Head to Secure Weight for PFL Title Fight

Former Bellator champion Liz Carmouche opted to shave her head on Thursday to ensure she hit the championship weight requirement ahead of her upcoming bout in Chicago. Carmouche successfully weighed in at 125 pounds for her rematch against Jena Bishop for the vacant PFL women’s flyweight title.

Bishop also successfully made weight, hitting the scale at 124.6 pounds for the main event. In their previous encounter in August 2025, Carmouche defeated Bishop via knockout at PFL Charlotte during the flyweight tournament.

The PFL Chicago card features several other bouts, including Timur Khizriev versus Gabriel Braga and Sarvarjon Khamidov against Rafael Do Nascimento. All other athletes on the scheduled card successfully met their required weight limits.
