Sergei Kharitonov vs Alexei Kudin Fight Video - M-1 Challenge 43

Kudin put up a pretty good fight and landed some good shots. The left in the beginning rocked Sergei and he has never been T(KO)ed by punches.

I thought Kharitonov's striking looked sub-par, particularly his defense. Absolutely no head movement! He did showcase a strong jab and had success with.what combos he did.throw, but he was content with only.throwing single punches for most of the fight. His grappling was on point, though. Definitely needs to fight more MMA next year.

I thought Kudin looked pretty good too. Threw many good combos and mixed it up well and his grappling even looked a little improved. He just got outmuscled by Kharitonov.

What a weird stoppage!

I think kudin was landing more, Sergei looked gassed! I hope he gets back to training mma full time!

Is this a one. Time thing with m1 like ishii?

Everyone knows i'm the biggest Kharitonov fan but today was the absolute worst performance he's ever put on, even worse than the Monson fight in DREAM 8. He needs to take every fighter serious even vs no names like Kudin or just retire from MMA and do Kickboxing full time. That was just abysmal to watch for me.

Can't take away credit from Kudin who I thought was winning on the score card until the stoppage. One hell of a fighter and a tough kid.

^ Remember that Kudin is one of the best kickboxers in mma. Kharitonov was losing the stand up and finished on the ground so it makes more sense for him to stay in mma.

Didn't know who Kudin was until this fight. I am officially a fan but Kharitonov will always be #1 for me along with Aleks.

Sergei looked really weird in this fight.

This saddens me

If kudin kickboxing was so good? He wants able to ko Sergei, sergei's stand up wasn't sharp at all

Kudin was winning but he gassed also! Sergei is better than ka and wessell! Both dominated kudin easily!

Sergei needs to train hard or rethink his position in mma!

Ka and Wessel didn´t dominate Kudin in the stand up. Sergei just had a kickboxing match and looked good against a legit opponent but now he didn´t look as good and it was because of Kudins skills.

its mma not kickboxing!!!!

he was dominated in that 2 fights!!!ka make him look like a kid

its not like kudin is a former glory or k1 champ, solid mma fighter nothing else and he was beating sergei, because kharitonov looked like 50 years old in that fight, simple as that

^Why are you screaming? I never said Kudin is a great allround mma fighter I said he´s one of the best kickboxers in mma.

If you put all the HW mma fighters in a kickboxing tournament Kudin would be one of the top guys.

RTT said Kharitonov should stick to kickboxing and I said it makes more sense to stay in mma because he lost the kickboxing part of the fight and finished on the ground. You get it?
