Liz Carmouche shaves her head as part of her effort to make the required weight for an upcoming PFL Chicago flyweight world title fight. Both outlets report that she takes steps to ensure she is within the limit before the official weigh-in.
The reports frame the decision as a practical measure rather than a change to her training or strategy. BBC Sport notes that the fight is for the PFL flyweight world title and emphasizes that Carmouche does not take risks when stepping on the scales. Yahoo Sports similarly highlights the weight-making context, presenting the shaved head as a clear sign of the lengths she goes to ahead of the contest.
