Liz Carmouche wasted no time making her statement for a title shot at Bellator 261 . Not only did Carmouche (16-7 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) take the unbeaten record from Kana Watanabe (10-1-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA), but she did it in a mere 35 seconds, finishing the women’s flyweight co-headliner by knockout at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. WOW! That was PHENOMENAL from @iamgirlrilla .
