The stacked main card is headlined by a must-see welterweight world title main event pitting current champion 安德烈Koreshkov (19-1) 針對 道格拉斯·利馬 (27-6). 此外, a pair of featherweight matchups pitting hometown favorite Noad Lahat (9-2) 針對 斯科特·克利夫 (15-5) 和 格奧爾基Karakhanyan (25-6-1) 針對 基里爾Medvedovsky (6-1) will also be featured on the Spike-televised main card. 最後, Ukrainian sensation Lena Ovchynnikova (10-4) returns in a female flyweight contest with Karla Benitez (13-9-1).

 

Scott Coker on the groundbreaking Bellator event in Israel: “This event started about 18 months ago when we came over here to say hello to our international partners Annaney Communications and EGO TOTAL. We sat down with them and they said ‘Hey, there are a lot of great martial artists here. Why don’t we go meet with some of the gyms?’ So, we went to some of the gyms across Tel Aviv where they hosted a nice tryout. We had about 60-70 athletes participate and Royce (格雷西) would say ‘I think this guy could be good. I think this girl could be good. I think that these are some of the talented fighters that you could bring into Bellator.’ From there we started talking about the venues, and talking about the infrastructure of how we could pull of an event of this magnitude here in this city. We have put together an amazing team of people out here that have done a great job helping make this possible. I’ve been in the fight business for 31 多年來, promoting fights all over the world, but this is one that is really a big feather in our cap. 我真的, really excited to be here in Israel promoting our inaugural event, and we already have a date set for next year. We will be back, and we’d like to make this an annual stop for the company.
