Kongo vs kharitonov might turn out to be a good fight. Hard to see it going past first round. If Kongo makes it out the first he could be a few well placed low blows away from victory in 2nd or 3 .rd
That’s the difference between Bellator and UFC… with Bellator, half the prelims are filled with fighters that should be on the amateur or regional scene, and the main card has legit pros. With UFC you see more continuity in skills from top to bottom.
