Liz Carmouche says DeAnna Bennett doesn’t have the gas tank for Bellator 294: ‘I prepared to go 10 rounds’

HONOLULU – Liz Carmouche thinks cardio will play a big factor in her beating DeAnna Bennett again.

Flyweight champion Carmouche (18-7 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) rematches Bennett (13-7-1 MMA, 3-1 BMMA) in Friday’s Bellator 294 main event at Neal S. Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu. The main card airs on Showtime following prelims on MMA Junkie.

Carmouche submitted Bennett in the third round at Bellator 246 in September 2020. The fight was each of their promotional debuts. Since then, Bennett has won three straight, but Carmouche doesn’t expect anything different from her. She also sees the extra two championship rounds playing in her favor.
