Recently we got treated to the announcement of Bellator 209’s fantastic headliner between featherweight champion Patricio “Pitbull” Freire and Emmanuel Sanchez<\/a>. Now throw three more fights into the mix.<\/p>\n

On November 15th Bellator will return to Tel Aviv, Israel for the third time. And the card is beginning to shape up.<\/p>\n

Initially reported by\u00a0MMAJunkie<\/a>, Bellator has confirmed the following additional matchups.<\/p>\n

In the light heavyweight division, the former champion Phil “Mr. Wonderful” Davis (19-4) will take on the surging Vadim Nemkov (9-2) who just recently finished another former champion in Liam McGeary.<\/p>\n

Since April 2014, Davis has gone 7-2 with his only losses coming to the current champion Ryan Bader by split decision. In Davis’ last time out he finished Linton Vassell with a head kick in the third round.<\/p>\n

Nemkov’s win over McGeary extended his current winning streak to four and he has yet to win a fight via decision in his 11 fight career (eight KO\/TKOs, one submission).<\/p>\n

In the co-main event, we’ll be getting a rematch as Ryan Couture (11-6) looks to rebound off of his loss to Saad Awad by getting another W over Israel’s own Haim Gozali (8-5).<\/p>\n

Couture has gone 1-3 in his last four with the Gozali being his only win. Since the loss, Gozali has gone 1-1.<\/p>\n

And in the women’s featherweight division, Bellator just continues to one-up the UFC by bolstering their roster as Olga Rubin (4-0) faces her toughest challenge yet by welcoming the underrated veteran Cindy Dandois (12-3) to Bellator.<\/p>\n

Dandois is 8-1 in her last nine and her only loss since 2014 came in her UFC debut to Alexis Davis last year. Since then she has won five in a row with all but one of her wins comings via finish (Two KO\/TKOs, two submissions).<\/p>\n

Her one decision win came over “King” Reina Miura at the 2017 RIZIN New Years Eve show. This was Miura’s first career loss<\/p>\n
