The winner of tonight’s match-up between Brett Rogers and Josh Barnett will have the unforgiving task of facing Sergei Kharitonov in the semifinals.
Kharitonov is a feared fighter due to his devastating knockout power and boxing prowess, not to mention he has an underrated sambo game.
“The Russian Mercenary” is viewed by many to be the “dark horse” of the heavyweight tournament, possessing victories over quarter-finalists Alistair Overeem and Fabricio Werdum.
Without further hesitation, I will present you with the top 5 KO’s of Kharitonov’s career.
