PFL Chicago card, start times and how to watch Carmouche vs Bishop 2

PFL Chicago puts 14 fights on at Wintrust Arena in Chicago on Friday, October 16, and the top of it is a rematch for the vacant PFL women's flyweight title. Liz Carmouche and Jena Bishop meet over five rounds 14 months after their first title fight, which Carmouche won by knockout in the third round in August 2025.

Carmouche (26-8) has fought once since, submitting Viviane Araujo in the second round in June. Bishop (11-3) has spent the same stretch finishing people early: a first-round submission of Borena Tsertsvadze in April, then another of Ariane Lipski da Silva in June. Behind them, Timur Khizriev puts an 18-0 record on the line at featherweight against Gabriel Braga (17-3).
