The homecoming fight for Liz Carmouche could not have gone much better Saturday.<\/p>\n

Carmouche, a former Bellator women’s flyweight champion and a longtime San Diegan, moved to the Orlando area from Southern California not long ago. Her return in the PFL San Diego go-main event was one of the most stellar finishes of her career.<\/p>\n

Carmouche (26-8) brilliantly jumped for a guillotine choke against Viviane Araujo (14-8) and forced her to tap out in the second round. It was the first recorded guillotine of Carmouche’s lengthy career, her fourth straight win and likely lined her up for a shot at PFL champ Dakota Ditcheva.<\/p>\n

In the headliner at Pechanga Arena, A.J. McKee (25-2) dominated Salamat Isbulaev (10-1) for a unanimous decision to hand him the first loss of his career.<\/p>\n

Check out all\u00a0the highlights from the main card in the video above.<\/p>\n
