Since then, Carmouche went on to submit Viviane Araujo with a guillotine choke in June, while Bishop submitted Borena Tsertsvadze in April, and then submitted Ariane Lipski da Silva in June.

Liz Carmouche and Jena Bishop are set to run it back, but this time for the vacant PFL women's flyweight title.
