Strike Force

For those of you who missed the Strike Force show last night unfortunatly Fedor lost. Oh well, it's just a matter of time before the next generation of fighters comes along. You can only stay on top for so long.
Sergey Kharitonov put on a great showing knocking out Arlovski in the first round. Sergey is not very well known in North America but i'm sure that's going to change.Fedor and Sergey used to train together at Russian top team before Fedor left to train with Red devil. He has excellent striking and throws but, his ground game is a little weak. Allthough he went the distance with Nogeira(in Pride) in his prime and didn't get submitted.
Here's a highlight vid. Enjoy.
