Karakhanyan delivered one of the most spectacular performances of his 10-year career at "Беллатор 160: Хендерсон вс. Питбулл," када је нокаутирао Бубба Џенкинс само 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 "Беллатор 164: Корешков против. Креч 2.” With 20 његовог 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.
