Karakhanyan delivered one of the most spectacular performances of his 10-year career at "Bellator 160: Henderson vs. Pitbull," όταν χτύπησε έξω Bubba Jenkins μόλις 53 seconds into the contest. Karakhanyan then followed that victory up with another early stoppage, ending Kirill Medvedovsky’s evening via TKO just 3:40 into the first frame at "Bellator 164: Koreshkov vs. Ασβέστης 2.” With 20 από του 26 career wins coming by way of stoppage, “Insane” looks to add to that total and finish “El Matador,” something nobody has been able to accomplish.
