Oh shit.
The Bellator MMA heavyweight division just got a major upgrade, as feared heavyweight striker Sergei Kharitonov, 35, is expected to make his Spike TV debut in May, according to a recent report from MMA Fighting.
Some of our newer fans may not recognize the name, but the Russian smashing machine (23-5) holds a win over current Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum, as well as knockout wins over Alistair Overeem and Andrei Arlovski.
In addition to his mixed martial arts (MMA) experience, the former Russian paratrooper holds a kickboxing win over Jerome LeBanner.
