It was an anti-climactic ending to what could’ve been a heavyweight barnburner Friday at Bellator 215.
Matt Mitrione (13-6 MMA, 4-1 BMMA) landed an accdiental low kick on Sergei Kharitonov (28-6 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) just 15 seconds into their main event. It took a second for the pain to register with Kharitonov, but when it did he immediately dropped to the canvas in apparent agony.
Ultimately, the fight had to be ruled a no-contest when Kharitonov couldn’t continue.
Check out the brief highlights from that fight in the video above, which also includes Logan Storley’s (10-0 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) decision over Ion Pascu (18-10 MMA, 0-3 BMMA); former bantamweight champ Eduardo Dantas’ (21-6 MMA, 11-4 BMMA) decision over Toby Misech (11-7 MMA, 1-1 BMMA); John Douma’s (4-1 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) submission upset of Mike Kimbel (2-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA); and Austin Vanderford’s (7-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) submission of Cody Jones (6-3 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) in his promotional debut.
