Why Liz Carmouche Will Win

Liz Carmouche has been dominant ever since she left the UFC for Bellator. She had won all seven of her fights with the promotion en route to capturing the flyweight championship. She picked up where she left off during her time with Bellator by dominating a familiar foe in Julianna Velasquez in her PFL debut. Now Carmouche will be looking to get another win against a familiar opponent Kana Watanabe as she she searches for her second win in her new promotion as well as secure her spot in the PFL playoffs this Thursday night.

Carmouche was a longtime UFC fighter before making the switch to Bellator and she was always considered one of the best in both promotions. She is as tough as they come being able to dish out punishment while absorbing it as well. Carmouche is also very well-rounded as she is a great wrestler and has a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt as well. This makes her a tough fight against anyone in the division especially against a familiar foe like Watanabe who she dominated a few years ago. If Carmouche can do what she did in their first encounter which was to pressure Watanabe and mix in the takedowns with her strikes she should be able to come out on top and secure her spot in the PFL playoffs.

Why Kana Watanabe Will Win

Kana Watanabe is making her second appearance in the PFL SmartCage after a dominant showing in her debut fight against Shanna Young. Watanabe the longtime Bellator veteran will be looking to make a splash with her new promotion but for her to do so she will need to go through a familiar foe who has a leg up on her Liz Carmouche. Watanabe will look to get one back when she takes on Carmouch this Thursday night in hopes of securing her first PFL playoff appearance.

Kana Watanabe is a Judoka Black Belt and she utilizes that to her fullest extent when every time she steps inside the cage. As we saw in her fight against Young she was able to take her down at will and dominate her with her control and ground-and-pound. While Carmouche is on another level than Young, this is the path to victory for Watanabe in this matchup. Standing and trading with Carmouche will end badly for Watanabe here so it's up to her to get this fight to the mat and punish her from there to finally get this loss back from Carmouche

Final Liz Carmouche-Kana Watanabe Prediction & Pick

This should be a good rematch between these two PFL flyweight contenders. Expect this to be a more closely contested matchup than it was in their first encounter but should still be more of the same with Carmouche just being a bit better everywhere this fight takes place. Watanabe will want to take this fight to the mat but Carmouche will be the one to keep it on the feet. Ultimately, Carmouche fends off the takedown attempts from Watanabe and outstrikes her for the majority of this fight to take the unanimous decision and secure her spot in the PFL playoffs.
