The No. 1 contender in the flyweight division could be determined at Bellator 261.
Bellator announced on Tuesday that Liz Carmouche (15-7) will fight Kana Watanabe (10-0-1) at an upcoming event on June 25 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. The matchup was first reported by The San Diego Union-Tribune.
Since joining Bellator this past September, Carmouche has gone 2-0 with wins over Vanessa Porto and DeAnna Bennett. Carmouche changed promotions following a six-year run with the UFC during which she challenged for both the bantamweight and flyweight titles.
