Liz Carmouche can add to her trophy case with one more victory this summer, as she defeats Elora Dana in the semifinals of the PFL World Tournament in the co-main event of PFL Wichita.
Carmouche wasted no time in the opening round, scoring an early takedown and landing a big elbow that created a hematoma on Dana's head. Dana threatened with submissions off her back, but Carmouche's ground-and-pound gave her the edge.
Carmouche controlled clinch exchanges and landed another takedown in the second frame, briefly securing a crucifix position. Carmouche dished out ground strikes and a big elbow in the final seconds, rocking Sana to close the round.
Dana tried to rally with combination in the third, but Carmouche remained composed and landed heavy low kicks and controlled the exchanges.
