PFL Chicago: How to Watch and Full Fight Card

. Before that, Timur Khizriev meets Gabriel Braga in an anticipated featherweight contest.         

PFL Chicago Main Event

Not many fighters over the age of 40 can say they had ever entered a second prime once their 30s were over. However, Carmouche has proven to be hitting just that with four straight wins, ending three of those bouts by stoppage. Contending for major promotional gold for the first time, “Girl-Rilla” is aiming to add another championship belt to her mantle.

Back in 2025, Bishop found herself on the wrong end of a third round knockout defeat to the streaking Carmouche. In the time since then, the BJJ black belt has rattled off two straight first round submission victories that have vaulted her back into the title picture.

Undefeated at 18-0, Khizriev is the latest in a long line of touted prospects that hail from Dagestan. Fighting in what will be his first fight in almost two years, “Imam” is seeking to ascend ever further up the PFL 145-lb ladder with another dominant result in “The Windy City."

In the very same town he fought in just this past April, Braga reentered the winner’s circle after besting Cheyden Leialoha by decision. At the latest iteration of PFL Chicago, the Brazilian athlete wants to capitalize on a productive 2026 by taking out the stalwart Khizriev.
