Bellator 192 results: Henry Corrales decisions Georgi Karakhanyan in first bout in Paramount history

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Henry Corrales made history on Saturday, becoming the first to win a fight televised by the newly launched Paramount Network.

Corrales (15-3 MMA, 3-3 BMMA) was forced to dig deep against Georgi Karakhanyan (27-8-1 MMA, 6-6 BMMA) over the course of three rounds to pull it out, but ultimately he was rewarded with a unanimous decision in the Bellator 192 main card opener, which took place at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., and aired on Paramount following prelims on MMAjunkie.

The first round of the 145-pound contest delivered plenty of action. Corrales and Karakhanyan stood toe-to-toe and exchanges punches from inside the pocket. Corrales’ face sported some damage, but it didn’t stop him from being effective and utilizing his offense.

Corrales got the momentum on his side in a big way in the second round, capitalizing on a failed guillotine choke attempt from Karakhanyan to establish top control for the majority of the round.

It was much of the same in the final frame. Karakhanyan was unable to get anything going off his back, and when he finally got up in the latter portion of the round, he didn’t have enough time to alter the course of the fight.

Corrales was awarded the victory by scores of 30-27, 29-28, 29-28, giving him three consecutive wins since he changes camps to The MMA Lab in Arizona.
