Kharitonov: "It is a great honor for me to be here at the first Khabib tournament in America"

Sergey Kharitonov, a Russian MMA fighter, spoke about Khabib Nurmagomedov's upcoming promotion debut.

“It is a great honor for me to be here at the first Khabib tournament in America. The main battle of the evening. I didn't even think, I just said yes. Tyrone is a worthy opponent. He, like me, is more of a drummer, so we will show a spectacular duel. I will have the advantage in the fight according to the MMA rules. Yes, Tyrone did not compete in MMA, but he had 14 fights according to the rules of professional boxing. He has an advantage, probably, in the fact that he is younger, I have MMA experience. We will prepare and do everything to make the fight bright. I will do everything to win."

On January 28, Kharitonov will fight Tyrone Spong. This fight will take place at the debut EFC tournament in the USA.
