The co-main event featured former Bellator Women’s Flyweight Champion Liz Carmouche taking on the undefeated Elora Dana (8-1) for a spot in the PFL World Tournament Finals. Carmouche came out aggressively, looking for an early knockout, but Dana managed a takedown—only for Carmouche to reverse the position using the momentum to land on top. From there, Carmouche unleashed a barrage of elbows, opening a massive hematoma on Dana’s forehead. The remainder of the fight played out largely on the feet, with Carmouche staying in control and ultimately earning a unanimous decision victory—handing Dana the first loss of her professional career.

France’s Mansour Barnaoui (22-7) faced off against Colorado’s undefeated wrestling standout Archie Colgan (12-0) in a high-stakes Lightweight matchup. The opening round delivered a bit of everything—back-and-forth exchanges, vicious knees in the clinch, and multiple takedowns. In the second, Colgan leaned into his wrestling pedigree, applying relentless pressure. But the 29-fight veteran Barnaoui weathered the storm and turned the tide momentarily with a perfectly timed punch that clipped Colgan. Ultimately, Colgan’s dominant top control and relentless pace proved decisive, earning him a clear unanimous decision and moving him one step closer to a Lightweight Title shot.
