Karakhanyan delivered one of the most spectacular performances of his 10-year career at "Bellator 160: Хендерсон проти. Pitbull," коли він нокаутував Bubba Дженкінс тільки 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. Лайм 2.” With 20 з його 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.
