Filed under: Bellator , News Bellator 176 took place Saturday and featured a four-fight main card on Spike at Pala Alpitour in Turin, Italy. In the middleweight main event, champion Rafael Carvalho (14-1 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) got the closure he was looking for when he knocked Melvin Manhoef (30-14-1 MMA, 2-3 BMMA) out cold with a fourth-round head kick to defend his title for the second time in what was a rematch of a controversial split-decision win at Bellator 155 in May 2016. Similar to the first fight, the showdown between the two strikers lacked signifiant action early. Carvalho turned the tide, though, and when he found an opening to land a big shot, he made the most of it.
