Bellator 162 results: Alexander Shlemenko, Bobby Lashley pick up wins

It looks like Alexander Shlemenko will be the next man to challenge for the 185-pound Bellator title.

Fighting in the main event of the card, Shlemenko defeated Kendall Grove in a wild, back-and-fourth scrap that had the Russian fighter in trouble at one point.

The 32-year-old Shlemenko caught the Hawaiian early in the fight, but going in for the kill Grove turned things around and caught Shlemenko with a well-timed hook, rocking the former Bellator champion. Grove then followed up with a series of punches and knees from the clinch, but it wasn't enough to put away Shlemenko.
