Jena Bishop wins inaugural PFL women’s flyweight title

Jena Bishop defeated Liz Carmouche via decision at PFL Chicago to become the promotion’s inaugural women’s flyweight champion. The victory follows a competitive bout where Bishop utilized clinches and knees to secure the win.

Following the result, undefeated fighter Dakota Ditcheva stated that a highly anticipated matchup between her and Carmouche is no longer a priority. Ditcheva noted that while fans desire the fight, she does not feel her career depends on it, especially following Carmouche’s loss. Ditcheva is currently preparing for a title rematch against Bishop, with a potential return to competition targeted for early 2027 after recovering from hand injuries.

Other notable results from the PFL Chicago event included Oualy Tandia defeating J.P. Saint Louis via decision, Sarvarjon Khamidov securing a first-round stoppage against Rafael do Nascimento, and Timur Khizriev earning a split decision victory over Gabriel Braga.
