WinStar World Casino
Thackerville, Oklahoma, USA

Georgi “Insane” Karakhanyan will replace Ashleigh Grimshaw against Emmanuel “El Matador” Sanchez in the main event of Bellator 218 set for March 22 at the WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma. The new main event is a rematch from Bellator 170 where Sanchez took a majority decision victory.
For Sanchez, their first meeting would be the catalyst for a four-fight win streak which included submissions of former champion Daniel Straus and UFC vet Sam Sicilia. The win streak earned the Roufusport product a title opportunity in Israel. “El Mataor” would go the distance, losing a decision to champion Patricio Freire.
For Karakhanyan this fight will kick off his third stint with Bellator MMA. The Russian born fighter fought for the promotion in 2010 and 2011, as well as from January of 2015 to January of 2018, before two fights with ACB (Absolute Championship Berkut). A former WSOF champion “Insane” has won four of his last seven fights, with three finishes.

Former two time Bellator title challenger Linton Vassell will move up to the heavyweight division in his return to action from a nearly 10-month layoff.
Vassell (18-7 MMA, 7-5 BMMA), who has contested for Bellator gold twice at 205 pounds, jumps to heavyweight for a matchup with Valentin Moldavsky (7-1 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) at Bellator 218 this months.
Vassell’s move to heavyweight comes after he spent his previous 12 Bellator bouts at light heavyweight. He’s coming off back-to-back knockout losses against Ryan Bader and Phil Davis, the latter of which took place at Bellator 200 in May 2018. After that, Vassell went back to the drawing board and decided he was going to switch divisions.
His first heavyweight test will come against Moldavsky, a Rizin veteran who has made two Bellator appearances. His most recent fight came at Bellator 202 in July 2018 when he earned a first-round TKO of Ernest James.
Also set for the Bellator 218 main card is a middleweight pairing between Mike Shipman (13-1 MMA, 4-0 BMMA), who is riding a 13-fight winning streak with 13 finishes, and Hracho Darpinyan (17-8-2 MMA, 0-1 BMMA), who fought to a draw against Gerald Harris in his lone Bellator appearance this past November.

What do you guys think of this? ... I can't believe people are complaining about $10 a month that's only $2.50 a week.

Yeah, but you can buy a year for something like $8.99 a month on average or something like that.
