2025 PFL 6 video: Jena Bishop uses slick BJJ skillset to tap Ekaterina Shakalova
Jena Bishop is headed to the 2025 PFL women's flyweight championship. At 2025 PFL World Tournament 6 on Friday, Bishop (9-2) submitted Ukraine's Ekaterina Shakalova (9-3) with a rear-naked choke at 2:07 of Round 2. The fight took place on the prelims at INTRUST Bank Arena in Wichita, Kan. Bishop, 39, was relentless in her Brazilian jiu-jitsu attack, constantly attempting submissions in the first round. Quickly in Round 2, Bishop dragged the fight to the canvas. Despite Shakalova's best defensive attempts, Bishop finally got a tight enough squeeze to get a tap and advance to the tournament final. Bishop will face the winner of Liz Carmouche vs. Elora Dana, which takes place later on the card. Up-to-the-minute 2025 PFL 6 results
