How to Watch Carmouche vs Bishop 2 at PFL Chicago

Here is how to watch PFL Chicago, live from Wintrust Arena in Chicago on Friday, October 16, with the inaugural PFL women's flyweight world title in the main event. The main card airs live on ESPN2 in the United States at 11 p.m. ET, with an early card starting at 7 p.m. ET. Liz Carmouche and Jena Bishop meet for a second time to crown the division's first champion. The belt is the first new title the organization has introduced since its merger with Most Valuable Promotions.

Liz Carmouche and Jena Bishop headline at women's flyweight, one year after they met in the 2025 PFL World Tournament final. Carmouche, ranked No. 2 in the division, took that fight by third round stoppage and comes in off a second round guillotine choke against Viviane Araujo. Bishop, ranked No. 4, is a Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt and a former IBJJF No Gi World Champion who nearly finished Carmouche from the bottom in the second round of their first meeting. She has since won twice inside the opening round, once by rear naked choke and once by armbar. The winner becomes the first PFL women's flyweight world champion.

The co main event is a featherweight rematch between Timur Khizriev and Gabriel Braga. Khizriev closed out 2024 as PFL featherweight champion and has not fought since, sidelined by a serious injury that required surgery and a long recovery. Braga is an aggressive striker with knockout power who took Khizriev to a split decision the first time, and a win puts either man back in a featherweight world title conversation.

PFL Chicago airs live in the United States on ESPN2 on Friday, October 16, with the main card starting at 11 p.m. ET. Two fighters who have already fought each other get to do it again with a world title in the balance, and Chicago decides it. Tickets are on sale now at pfl.info/chicago.
