Andrey Koreshkov ’s return to competition after nearly 11 months at Bellator 203 proved to be worth the wait. The former Bellator welterweight champion Koreshkov (21-2 MMA, 12-2 BMMA) made short work of Vaso Bakocevic (33-18-1 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) when his spinning back kick to the liver landed and ended the featured matchup just 66 seconds after it begun. Bellator 203 took place Foro Italico in Rome. The event aired via tape-delay on Paramount. After long periods of inactivity in his career, Koreshkov said he wanted to make a splash in his return and send a reminder that he’s among the top welterweights in Bellator, especially with the welterweight grand prix set to begin later this year
