Liz Carmouche Set to Make First Title Defense at Bellator 289

Liz Carmouche's long, storied career in MMA has made her a pillar of the Women's MMA community in America. As we prepare for her first title defense on December 9, Let's take a stroll down memory lane...

For starters, Liz competed in the first ever women's MMA Bout in the UFC. She then continued to grow women's MMA in the UFC for 6 more years garnering impressive victories over Jessica Andrade, Katlyn Chookagian, and Jennifer Maia! 

Liz then crossed over from the UFC to Bellator's promotion. She has inspired a whole new fan base by winning her first ever World Championship at the Bellator 125 division by putting her opponent into a crucifix! She has a 4-0 Bellator record, and has tallied 3 of those wins by Knockout. 

She looks to continue her dominance over the 125 division in the Bellator promotion with a title defense against Juliana Velazquez at Bellator 289!
