Here is the fight between the legend of Russian mixed martial arts Sergey Kharitonov and world-class knockout artist Tyrone Spong. And why not remember how Sergey fought a man with a similar name, who was also a great master of knockouts? On March 21, 2014, the Tech Krep Prime tournament was held in Krasnodar. The main fight of the evening was the favorite of Russian viewers, Tula paratrooper Sergey Kharitonov, who was already a superstar of world MMA at that time. But his opponent was quite interesting. American fighter Tyler East, nicknamed the Beast, was 10 years younger than Sergey, but by that time he had already had 16 professional fights, of which he won 13. He knocked out his opponents 11 times and approached the fight with Sergey with a winning streak of 9 fights in a row. After that fight, Sergei Kharitonov would have a number of memorable fights in the M-1 Challenge ranks and the Bellator cage, and his career continues to this day. But for his opponent, things were much sadder and more tragic. After a heavy defeat at the hands of Sergei, Tyler East would have only four more fights and end his career in 2016. He was a fighter with great potential, which, unfortunately, he was never able to realize. In 2021, Tyler East was shot dead during a domestic dispute. #Knockout #Kharitonov #fighter
