A year ago there was a scandalous fight between Sergei Kharitonov and Fabio Maldonado. It all started very interestingly, but the ending of the battle left both its participants and spectators dissatisfied. It is possible that the PaRus FC promotion plans include a rematch, which unfortunately has not yet taken place. And today we will watch Sergei’s first fight in this organization, which took place on November 7, 2020 in Dubai. These were not the easiest times for Kharitonov, because a year before the events described, he lost by knockout at the Bellator tournament, after which he competed only in boxing tournaments. Therefore, the Russian fighter was charged only with victory. His opponent was not the easiest and, like Sergei, very experienced. British fighter Oli Thompson, nicknamed Spartan, has participated in UFC, Bellator and KSW tournaments. He had 33 professional fights, 21 of which he celebrated victory. Moreover, like Sergei, he achieved most of his victories by knockout. #
