SAN DIEGO — Perhaps Liz Carmouche was unaware of the impact she and Ronda Rousey had in February 2013, when they became the first female fighters to set foot inside the UFC Octagon. (Rousey won that bantamweight championship bout.) Not only did that fight make history, but it also provided a platform for female fighters across the board to broadcast their talents.
Carmouche, now with Bellator MMA, is on a mission to capture a title that has eluded her throughout her career. A winner of five of her last six fights, while being undefeated in three bouts under the Bellator banner, Carmouche has the opportunity to finally be crowned champion on April 22 in Hawaii against Juliana Velasquez.
