Liz Carmouche didn’t have to put her Bellator flyweight title on the line Friday night, and in the end, it didn’t cost her anyway.
Carmouche overcame a tough first three rounds to find the finish, catching DeAnna Bennett in an arm-triangle choke at the 4:29 mark of Round 4 in the main event in Bellator 294.
Bennett didn’t have a chance to win the Bellator flyweight title after missing weight by 1.2 pounds Thursday afternoon.
“Definitely in those first few rounds, not having to cut that extra weight and be at a champion level definitely showed and she was able to use that. I knew no matter what she didn’t have the gas tank, so even if I wasn’t winning those ones, I was able to get that back,” Carmouche said.
Also on the main card, Sara McMann made her Bellator debut and overwhelmed Arlene Blencowe en route to an unanimous decision victory (29-27, 30-26, 30-27).
Danny Sabatello also bounced back from his loss to Raufeon Stots with an impressive win over Marcos Breno. Sabatello defeated Breno via a rear-naked choke submission at the 4:10 mark in the second round.
