TAMBÉM, ISRAELI HAIM GOZALI REMATCHY RYAN COUTURE E ANTIGO CAMPO DE PESO PESO PHIL DAVIS ENFRENTA VADIM NEMKOV
LOS ANGELES - Bellator retorna a Tel Aviv, Israel pelo terceiro ano consecutivo na quinta-feira, Novembro. 15 com um embate título pluma mundial Patricio "Pitbull" Freire (27-4) contra Emmanuel Sanchez (17-3) definido para ancorar Bellator 209 dentro de Menora Mivtachim Arena. Além, Haim Widodo (8-5) parece se vingar contra Ryan Couture (11-6) na ação welterweight co-evento principal, enquanto Phil Davis (19-4, 1 NC) vai assumir Vadim Nemkov (9-2) no meio-pesado. Adicionalmente, uma disputa de penas de mulheres entre israelenses invictos Olga Rubin (4-0) eo veterano Cindy Dandois (12-3) será apresentado no cartão.

O Bellator fez parceria com a Ananey Communications, um conglomerado de televisão israelense ostentando 14 canais, incluindo os canais EGO e EGO TOTAL, que transmitem o Bellator em Israel desde 2012.
Vindo de Natal, Brasil, o bicampeão peso pena Patricio “Pitbull” entrará na gaiola do Bellator por um recorde promocional pela 20ª vez em novembro. 15. Com 15 vitórias sob o guarda-chuva do Bellator, "Pitbull" fará sua segunda defesa pelo título desde recuperar o título mundial em Bellator 178 contra Daniel Straus ano passado. Mais recentemente, "Pitbull" derrotado Daniel Weichel, superando seu oponente por decisão dividida em Bellator 203 em Roma. Depois de terminar em 20 da sua 27 ganha como um profissional, o atual campeão se tornou sinônimo de emoção e os fãs certamente podem esperar mais fogos de artifício quando ele entrar na gaiola em Nov. 15.
Sanchez emergiu oficialmente da perspectiva de candidato ao título quando desafia o título do peso pena em Tel Aviv. Ao contrário de seu oponente, Sanchez se encontrará em território desconhecido em novembro. 15, como Milwaukee, 28 anos, Wis.-fighter fará sua primeira aparição profissional fora dos Estados Unidos. "El Matador" buscará sua décima vitória promocional e sua quinta vitória consecutiva, uma série que começou em janeiro do ano passado. Com sua última derrota ocorrida há mais de dois anos e com vitórias recentes sobre ex-campeões do Bellator Daniel Straus e Marcos Galvão, bem como Sam Sicilia, pode não haver outro atleta na lista do Bellator mais merecedor de uma luta pelo título do que o produto da Academia Roufusport.

O lutador israelense lutará mais uma vez com Ryan Couture em novembro. 15, após um thriller de três rodadas em Bellator 180 verão passado.

Agora, com sete de suas oito vitórias na carreira chegando por finalização, o ex-soldado do exército israelense espera manter sua revanche com Couture fora das mãos dos juízes.
Couture parece duplicar o sucesso que teve em sua primeira luta com Gozali, quando ele obteve uma vitória por decisão unânime no Madison Square Garden em junho passado. Um veterano do UFC e da STRIKEFORCE, Couture apareceu seis vezes na gaiola do Bellator e voltará ao peso médio na esperança de conseguir a 12ª vitória de sua carreira. Um membro da Xtreme Couture em Las Vegas, o nativo de Seattle procurará desempenhar o papel de spoiler de Gozali quando as duas revanche em Tel Aviv.

Lutando contra Stary Oskol, Rússia, 26-Vadim Nemkov, artista nocauteado de um ano, fará sua terceira aparição no Bellator quando conhecer Davis. Um protegido do peso pesado Bellator Fedor Emelianenko, Nemkov quer aproveitar seu par de vitórias por nocaute, que inclui uma vitória sobre o ex-campeão dos meio-pesados Liam McGeary em Bellator 194. Com oito de suas nove vitórias na carreira em paralisação na primeira rodada, o ex-campeão mundial do Sambo não perde muito tempo dentro da gaiola. Sua capacidade de terminar lutas será testada quando ele conhecer Davis, um atleta que ainda não terminou sua carreira.
Olga Rubin, peso-pena das mulheres israelenses, recua pela gaiola Bellator pela terceira vez e coloca sua sequência invicta em jogo em seu país de origem. Com suas vitórias promocionais anteriores em Bellator 164 e Bellator 188 vindo via TKO, "Big Bad" desenvolveu uma reputação como uma das perspectivas mais perigosas da divisão. Agora, ela está pronta para enfrentar Cindy Dandois, veterana do UFC e do Invicta FC., que possui vitórias sobre Marloes Coenen, Jorina Baars e Megan Anderson. Treinamento fora da Xtreme Couture em Las Vegas, "Battlecat" está atualmente em uma sequência de vitórias em quatro lutas, que inclui uma aparição vitoriosa em RIZIN.
