Araujo repeatedly tried to take Carmouche down, but the Brazilian ended up getting taken down herself during one of the exchanges.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Araujo tried to get her wrestling going again in the second round, but it backfired badly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">When she shot in on a double-leg takedown, Carmouche immediately jumped guard with a tight guillotine choke. Araujo tried to fight it, but the squeeze was way too tight, forcing the tap.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Check out the finish below:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Instead, Carmouche used her post-fight interview to call for a Bantamweight division, arguing that it would allow PFL to sign more women and create more opportunities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">It also sounds like the cut to Flyweight is getting tougher for the 42-year-old veteran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Nevertheless, Carmouche (26-8) is now riding a four-fight win streak and has gone 6-1 since joining PFL. Whether it happens at Flyweight or somewhere else, it still feels like Carmouche and Ditcheva need to collide sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">For more PFL San Diego results, coverage and highlights click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/professional-fighters-league-pfl\/453784\/pfl-san-diego-live-streaming-results-video-highlights-for-mckee-vs-isbulaev\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cGirl-Rilla\u201d continues to roll.
