Has his momentum stopped in the main event of Bellator 190
Sakara lost to Rafael Carvalho via KO (elbow) at 0:44 of Round 1 at Bellator 190 on Saturday in Florence, Italy.
ANALYSIS
Sakara has been experiencing a late-career resurgence in Bellator. This is the third Italian Bellator event the Italian has headlined since signing with the promotion last year. In his first two trips to the Bellator cage, he scored wins over Brian Rogers and Joey Beltran in light heavyweight fights. For this fight, he dropped to middleweight to challenge for the belt. Unfortunately for him, he could not withstand the power of Carvalho. He falls to 18-12 as a professional for the 15-year veteran.

Scores TKO victory over Joey Beltran in Italy
Sakara defeated Joey Beltran via TKO (punches) at 1:20 of Round 1 at Bellator 168 on Saturday in Florence, Italy.
ANALYSIS
Sakara seemed to be the more comfortable man in this fight, pressuring his opponent before landing a big shot on the side of the head to initiate the finish. Sakara was bounced from the UFC after losing four consecutive fights, but seems to be on track to build momentum once again, as he has won his last three fights (two in Bellator) by KO/TKO. At 35 years old, though, the door may be closing on another run of success for the veteran.
