Jena Bishop qualified for the PFL World Tournament finals by winning two fights. She faces Liz Carmouche, a significantly more experienced mixed martial artist. Bishop expressed satisfaction with the new grand prix format and noted improvements from the previous PFL season. She feels clarity regarding her position in the promotion and believes her jiu-jitsu background gives her a competitive edge in MMA. Carmouche boasts extensive experience, including being part of historic fights and holding titles in multiple organizations.
"Everything's been good this year. A lot of the things changed with the format of the tournament. I think that's a little bit better, and just me understanding how things work with them. Everybody's kind of adjusted to the changes, and a little bit more settled after last year."
"For me, I just need to have clarity, and I have plenty of that. This year's been pretty good. I think it's just in a little bit better spot."
"There's nothing that you can do to gain that experience in jiu-jitsu without having the years that I've had, and the tournament experience, and going up against the highest level of competition."
"MMA is definitely a different thing, but my style of jiu-jitsu translates really well to MMA. So I think that definitely gives me an edge."
