Liz Carmouche Eyes Potential Cross-Promotional Fight with MVP MMA

Why it matters locally: Liz Carmouche will compete at PFL San Diego on June 27.

Liz Carmouche, the 2025 PFL women’s flyweight tournament winner, expressed interest in a potential cross-promotional fight between the PFL and Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP). Carmouche acknowledged Paul's efforts in fighter compensation and promotion. She stated that representing the PFL in a crossover fight with MVP appeals to her. Paul previously indicated his openness to co-promoting with the PFL during an appearance on ‘Undefeated & Undisputed.’ He mentioned Cris Cyborg as a potential opponent. Carmouche competed at UFC 157 in 2013, where Ronda Rousey defeated her by first-round armbar. Since leaving the UFC, she has earned titles in both the PFL and Bellator MMA. Carmouche will be back in action at PFL San Diego on June 27.
