Bellator’s debut event in Israel has received a pair of new contests with Georgi Karakhanyan vs. Kirill Medvedovsky and Karla Benitez vs. Lena Ovchynnikova.

Bellator officials today announced the new matchups for Bellator 164, which takes Nov. 10 at Menora Mivtachim Arena in Tel Aviv, Israel.

“Insane” Karakhanyan (25-6-1 MMA, 2-2 BMMA) is a former WSOF featherweight champ who has found mixed results thus far in the Bellator cage. Karakhanyan owns twostoppage Bellator wins over Bubba Jenkins, though he’s come up short via decision against Pat Curran and Daniel Weichel.

Karakhanyan replaces James Gallagher, who was moved to Bellator 169, and now faces Israel’s Medvedovsky (7-2 MMA, 0-0 BMMA), who makes his Bellator debut.

Bentiez (13-9-2 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) is a Venezuelan fighter who has been competing professionally since 2007, facing the likes of Joanna Jedrzejczyk, Megumi Fujii and Aisling Daly. She now meets the Ukraine’s Ovchynnikova (10-4 MMA, 0-1 BMMA), who makes her second appearance under the Bellator banner after suffering a Bellator 150 loss to Rebecca Ruth.
