Rousey Trains Bishop Ahead Of Carmouche Rematch

Jena Bishop has enlisted UFC Hall of Famer Ronda Rousey to help prepare for the biggest fight of her career.

The Professional Fighters League released a photo showing Bishop training with Rousey ahead of her rematch with Liz Carmouche for the inaugural PFL women's flyweight championship, according to Sherdog. The bout headlines PFL Chicago on Oct. 16 at Wintrust Arena and will crown the promotion's first flyweight champion since the PFL's merger with Most Valuable Promotions.

Bishop Gets Second Shot After Tournament Final Loss

Carmouche stopped Bishop in the third round when the two met in last year's PFL women's flyweight tournament final. Bishop has since rebounded with wins over Borena Tsertsvadze and Ariane Lipski da Silva. Carmouche enters off a submission victory over Viviane Araujo in June.

Rousey, who became the face of women's MMA during her UFC run, also has history with Carmouche. She defeated Carmouche at UFC 157 in 2013, in her Octagon debut and the first defense of her UFC women's bantamweight title.

The PFL Chicago card airs Oct. 16 from Wintrust Arena in Chicago.
