“The Russian Mercenary” enters tonight’s Bellator 215 contest with Mitrione having won five fights in a row, and ten of his last eleven overall.
Round one begins and Matt Mitrione throws a hard low kick that connects right in the groin area of Sergei Kharitonov.
Kharitonov immediately crashed to the canvas in agony. This is not good. He may not be able to recover from this.
The referee takes a look and this one is all over folks.
The fight's over. Sergei looks like he's passing a kidney stone. #Bellator215 pic.twitter.com/AISIbrvvtq
