Bellator 294 results: Liz Carmouche retains title; Sara McMann victorious in debut

Bellator Bellator 294 (Event) DeAnna Bennett Liz Carmouche Said Sowma Tim Johnson Anthony Adams Arlene Blencowe Blake Smith Cris Lencioni

HONOLULU – Bellator 294 took place Friday, and MMA Junkie provided live and official results throughout the event.

The event took place at Neal S. Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu. The main card aired on Showtime following prelims on MMA Junkie.

In the main event, women’s flyweight champion Liz Carmouche (19-7 MMA, 6-0 BMMA) successfully defended her title against DeAnna Bennett (13-8-1 MMA, 3-2 BMMA). Bennett missed weight, so she was ineligible to win the title, but Carmouche still put her belt on the line.

In the co-feature, Tim Johnson (16-9 MMA, 4-5 BMMA) met Said Sowma (8-5 MMA, 2-4 BMMA) in a hard-fought heavyweight bout.
