Even after all these years, Liz Carmouche is still doing her thing – and doing it well.
At Friday’s 2025 PFL World Tournament 2 event in Orlando, Fla., Carmouche (23-8) made quick work of Ilara Joanne (12-10), as she finished the Brazilian fighter with ground-and-pound strikes for a stoppage at 1:25 of Round 2.
Carmouche quickly dragged the fight to the canvas where she unloaded a barrage of body elbows and hammerfists until Joanne covered up and referee Josh Rutgers intervened.
With the win, Carmouche advances to the women’s flyweight semifinal June 20 vs. Elora Dana (8-0) in Wichita, Kan.
