Liz Carmouche made a bold move by shaving her head to successfully make weight for her PFL flyweight world title fight against Jena Bishop in Chicago on Friday.

The seasoned MMA fighter, who has previously competed in both the UFC and Bellator, faced a crucial moment as she needed to come in under the 125lb limit. While Bishop weighed in just under the threshold, the 42-year-old Carmouche required an urgent haircut, with her team using electric clippers to ensure she met the weight requirement.

Despite the last-minute rush, Carmouche displayed her trademark positivity as she weighed in, playfully rubbing her newly shaved head, which featured some bare spots.

Earlier in the week, Carmouche shared her struggles with the weight cut, describing flyweight as a "crazy cut" for her. In her conversation with Ariel Helwani on Uncrowned, she expressed:

My bone density keeps increasing, therefore my weight keeps increasing. I can keep reducing calories, but that's not going to change the build of my body. So 135lb makes the most sense, but the performance I have at 125lb makes it really hard to want to go up a weight class.

Carmouche’s determination and commitment to making weight highlight her dedication as she prepares for this pivotal fight.
