On Saturday, Bellator returned with another doubleheader event. In the early afternoon, Bellator Milan went down with Alessio Sakara facing Canaan Grigsby in his home country.
Then in the evening, Bellator 230 saw former middleweight champion Rafael Carvalho make his move up to the light heavyweight division to challenge the surging prospect Vadim Nemkov.
In the main event of Bellator 230, Alessio Sakara got back in the win column and this time with ease, stopping Grigsby just 23 seconds into the fight. Sakara wasted little time coming forward and firing off shots, forcing Grigsby to cover up against the cage.
