After a highly painful and unfortunate ending to their first fight, Matt Mitrione and Sergei Kharitonov are headed for a rematch.
As was announced during Friday night’s Bellator 222 card, the two heavyweights will square off in the main event of a Bellator MMA show on August 24th at Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut. No broadcast details were announced, although it’s expected that it’ll be simulcast on Paramount Network and DAZN.
Back in February, Mitrione whacked Kharitonov in the groin just fifteen seconds into the bout. Kharitonov was in excruciating pain and was unable to continue, leading to a no-contest ruling.
