Eagle FC makes its U.S. debut this Friday night with a surprisingly intriguing card from its new home base of American operations, Miami, Florida. And the names chosen for this maiden voyage are mostly those of note, but with a lot of questions surrounding them.
First up, the main event. Originally scheduled to be Tyrone Spong (2-0 MMA) vs Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva, that got nixed as Spong will now be facing Sergei Kharinotov (33-9). A man that’s been almost everywhere and almost everything in Kharitonov will now be up against one of the most respected heavyweight kickboxers of his era.
