Strikeforce late on Monday announced two additional bouts for its Nov. 19 bill at the Jackson Convention Complex in Jackson, Miss.

Added to the Showtime-televised (11 p.m. ET -- delayed on the West coast) Strikeforce Challengers 12 event is a 135-pound women’s clash pitting Jan “Cuddles” Finney against Liz Carmouche and a lightweight tilt matching Caros Fodor across the cage from Derek Getzel.

Finney (8-8), who was stopped by Strikeforce 145-pound women’s champion Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos with a second round knee to the body in June, is returning to her natural 135-pound weight class for the bout.

“I'm far from cuddly,” said Finney, a native of Springfield, Ohio, in a press release. “I'm more like a bull in a china shop.’’

Carmouche, a 4-0 prospect from San Diego, Calif., has finished three of her opponents within the contracted time limit.

Vitor “Shaolin” Ribeiro vs. Justin Wilcox
Ovince St. Preux vs. Antwain Britt
Jan Finney vs. Liz Carmouche
Caros Fodor vs. Derek Getzel
