Filed under: Bellator , News After an anti-climatic end to an otherwise favorable scrap, a frustrated Patricio Freire said he wants a lightweight rematch with Benson Henderson . But first he’s got some featherweight business to tend to.

With Bellator deal done, Georgi Karakhanyan handling free agency ‘a little differently’ this time

BAD MMA News — Tue, 30 Aug 2016 21:42:06 +0000

Filed under: Bellator , Featured Videos , News , Radio Highlight , Videos Free agency is a hot topic in MMA these days, but it’s nothing new for featherweight Georgi Karakhanyan . Karakhanyan (25-6-1 MMA, 4-4 BMMA), who wrapped up his Bellator contract this past weekend with a 53-second knockout Bubba Jenkins (11-3 MMA, 8-3 BMMA) at Bellator 160, has done this plenty of times before. He was a member of the Bellator roster from 2010-2011, but when his contract ended following a Bellator 37 loss to Patricio Freire (25-4 MMA, 13-4 BMMA), he parted ways with the company and began a run of nine consecutive victories, a streak that included a stint with WSOF, where he captured the organization’s 145-pound belt. Once his WSOF run was over at the end of 2014, “Insane” circled back to Bellator for a four-fight deal that concluded when he starched Jenkins in brutal fashion in a rematch of their Bellator 132 fight in January 2015, which Karakhanyan won by submission in less than two minutes. Sandwiched between the two victories over Jenkins were back-to-back losses, to Pat Curran and Daniel Weichel.

Filed under: Bellator , News Patricio Freire had a good reason to wave off and forfeit Friday’s Bellator 160 main event. In a Spike-televised bout at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., Freire (25-4 MMA, 13-4 BMMA), a longtime featherweight who moved up to lightweight for the high-profile bout, was beginning to find his range against former UFC champion Benson Henderson (24-6 MMA, 1-1 BMMA).

Bellator 160 highlights: This Georgi Karakhanyan KO makes up for Henderson-Freire disappointment

BAD MMA News — Sat, 27 Aug 2016 13:03:31 +0000

Filed under: Bellator , Featured , Featured Videos , News , Videos Friday’s Bellator 160 event ended on a sour note, but if you tuned in early, you were treated to one hell of a knockout. In the featured bout of the Spike-televised event at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., Benson Henderson (24-6 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) got the victory and earned a title shot after Patricio Freire (25-4 MMA, 13-4 BMMA), who was winning the fight, injured his leg during a kick. However, the rest of the main card delivered some action. Featherweight Georgi Karakhanyan (25-6-1 MMA, 4-4 BMMA), for example, caught a kick and unloaded a brutal knockout punch on Bubba Jenkins (11-3 MMA, 8-3 BMMA) just 53 seconds into the fight. The former WSOF champ is now 2-0 over Jenkins, whose only two losses in his past nine fights have come to Karakhanyan. Elsewhere on the card, Derek Anderson (14-2 MMA, 4-2 BMMA) topped Saad Awad (19-8 MMA, 7-5 BMMA) in an action-packed lightweight belt, and undefeated featherweight prospect A.J.

BAD MMA News — Sat, 27 Aug 2016 04:27:33 +0000

For the duration of his bout with Patricio Freire, Benson Henderson looked lost. Henderson rarely engaged with any effective offense, instead fighting passively as Freire refused to fall into the trap of being counterstruck or taken down. Fortunately for Henderson, Freire had to stop the fight after suffering a leg injury and calling the fight off himself
