Background
The opening bout of a two-night doubleheader will see flyweight champion Liz Carmouche defending her title against DeAnna Bennett on April 21 at the Neal S. Blaisdell Center in Honolulu.
Bennett and Carmouche previously squared off in September 2020, with Carmouche submitting Bennett in both fighters' Bellator debuts. Prior to receiving a championship chance against reigning champion Juliana Velasquez at Bellator 278, the former two-time UFC title contender won four straight fights. In their rematch at Bellator 289, Carmouche TKO'd Velasquez to win the championship and ended her once again. Since losing to Carmouche in her promotional debut, Bennett hasn't had a defeat. The former contestant of "The Ultimate Fighter 26" has won three straight fights, including decisions over Justine Kish in back-to-back bouts.
Bellator 294 was dedicated for military and first responders meaning that there will be no tickets on sale to the general public.
