Liz Carmouche vs. Vanessa Porto set for Bellator 256
Liz Carmouche vs. Vanessa Porto is the latest addition to Bellator 256 on April 9.
A promotion official confirmed the flyweight matchup to MMA Fighting following a report from Fansided. The event takes place at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., and airs live on Showtime.
Two-time UFC title challenger Carmouche made her promotional debut for Bellator this past September at Bellator 246, picking up a third-round submission victory over DeAnna Bennett. The win put her back on the right foot after a title loss to current UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko at UFC Uruguay triggered her release from the promotion.
