Charles Bennett has been forced to withdraw from next Tuesday’s inaugural Israel Fighting Championship event, Mike Ben-Avi, an American representative for the organization, confirmed announced on Monday’s episode of The MMA Hour.
Ben-Avi would not divulge why “Kid Kaos” couldn’t fight, but sources tell MMA Fighting it was due to the fact that his passport was set to expire during his time in Israel and there wasn’t enough time to renew it.
As a result, MMA veteran Thiago Meller (16-3), who lost to Jose Aldo via majority decision in 2006, will step in to fight Ariel Abargel (3-0).
