Even after all these years, Liz Carmouche is still doing her thing – and doing it well.
The 2025 PFL World Tournament 2 event (23-8) held in Orlando, Florida, performed quick work for Ilara Joanne (12-10) as the Brazilian fighter jet finished with a ground and pillar strike at 1:25 in Round 2.
Carmouche quickly dragged the fight to the canvas, where he lowered the body’s elbows and a barrage of hammerfist until Joanne hides and referee Josh Rutgers intervenes.
With the victory, Carmouche will advance to the women’s flyweight semi-finals on June 20th, held in Wichita, Kan.
