Bellator 160: "Henderson vs. Pitbull" takes place at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., on Aug. 26, 2016, featuring a No. 1 Lightweight contender bout in the main event between former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 155-pound kingpin "Smooth" Benson Henderson against former Bellator Featherweight champion "Pitbull" Patricio Freire.
Two new bouts have been announced to bolster the Spike TV-televised card with one month to go until the promotion's next event. And both should offer a clearer picture going forward in its crowded -- and talent-rich -- Featherweight division.
"Insane" Georgi Karakhanyan (24-6-1) is among the top fighters in the world at 145 pounds, but has hit a snag of late with losses in three of his last four bouts to top contender Daniel Weichel and former champion Pat Curran, among others.
