DeAnna Bennett once again failed to make weight for a bout with Liz Carmouche.
This time, Bennett will be ineligible to win the Bellator flyweight title Friday night at Bellator 294.
Bennett, the challenger came in at 126.2 pounds, well over the maximum of 125 for a title fight. For the previous meeting between the two, Bennett also missed weight.
Carmouche hit the limit and has decided to put her title on the line. If she wins, she remains champion. If Bennett wins, the belt will become vacant.
