Undefeated prospect Austin Vanderford will make his international debut for Bellator.
The promotion confirmed a seven-bout card set for the 14th of November at “Menora Mivtachim Arena” in Tel Aviv.
Vanderford, the husband of UFC star Paige VanZant, stopped Joseph Creer this past month at Bellator 225 to pick up his first win at 185 pounds after a run at welterweight. He now takes a trip across the pond to face Grachik Bozinyan (10-3 MMA, 0-0 BMMA), who is making his promotional debut.
