Andrey Koreshkov defends welterweight title against Douglas Lima on November 10 in Israel

The rematch between welterweight champion Andrey Koreshkov and Douglas Lima will take place on November 10 as they will meet in the main event of the Bellator fight card coming from the Menora Mivtachim Arena in Tel Aviv, Israel.

The fight booking was announced by Bellator in a press release on Wednesday and the co-main event of the fight card will be a featherweight bout as Noad Lahat makes his promotional debut against Scott Cleve.

Koreshkov (19-1) defeated Lima by unanimous decision at Bellator 140 last year to win the Bellator welterweight title and is coming off a successful title defense against Benson Henderson earlier this year at Bellator 153 as he won by unanimous decision. Lima (27-6) returned to the Bellator cage in July at Bellator 158 and defeated Paul Daley by unanimous decision. It was his first fight since losing to Koreshkov and he is 6-1 in his last seven fights.
