That was a close one.
PFL Chicago goes down in the windy city on Friday, headlined by a women’s flyweight title fight between top contenders Liz Carmouche and Jena Bishop.
While Bishop weighed in just under the 125lb limit on Thursday, Carmouche came real close to being over, cutting her hair to make weight. A close shave, you might say, pun fully intended.
In the the title fight (the belt sits vacant) moves forward, and all fighters weighed in successfully for Friday’s event at the WinTrust Arena.
