San Diego fan favorite Liz Carmouche returns home as one of the most decorated athletes in the history of women\u2019s MMA, entering as a former Bellator Champion, the 2025 PFL Women\u2019s Flyweight Tournament Champion, and the current No. 2-ranked contender. Across from her, Brazil\u2019s Viviane Ara\u00fajo, a 13-fight UFC veteran with a well-rounded skillset and recent momentum following an impressive win in her PFL debut, will look to force her way into contention with a statement victory. In a division with undefeated Dakota Ditcheva looming, a win can elevate either fighter into the title conversation and bring them within reach of a championship opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>PFL San Diego Presented by GOVX will serve as a featured event within the league\u2019s newly announced partnership with GOVX, the leading platform serving military members, first responders, and government personnel.
