Liz Carmouche

The former Marine Corps aviation electrician has been utterly dominant in the Bellator Flyweight class since she made a 2020 entry to the company. Riding a six-fight winning streak, the former UFC and Strikeforce fighter won the Bellator Flyweight title by finishing previously undefeated Julian Velasquez. Liz Carmouche left the UFC after a failed bid for the Flyweight title following a loss to Valentina Shevchenko. The 39-year-old is nicknamed “Girl-Rilla” because of her muscular physique and strength.

Ilima-Lei Macfarlane

The 33-year-old Flyweight has indicated that her fight with Carmouche would be her last trip to the cage. Ilima-Lei Macfarlane scraped a split decision over Kana Watanabe last April at Bellator 295. The American was the inaugural women’s Flyweight world champion, winning the title via a fifth-round arm bar variation in 2017. She made four successful title defenses before losing the championship to Juliana Velasquez in 2020. Macfarlane is number five in the Bellator women’s pound-for-pound rankings.
