Russian MMA veteran Sergey Kharitonov will require hospital surgery after he was set upon by UFC fighter Adam Yandiev in a vicious attack in Moscow reportedly stemming from a row over a $25,000 debt.
Bellator MMA brawler Kharitonov, who last weekend knocked out England’s Oli Thompson in the first round of their Parus Fight Championship contest in Dubai, was on the receiving end of a brutal assault by middleweight fighter Yandiev on the sidelines of the ‘Battle of Champions’ combat sports event at Moscow’s Luzhniki sports complex on Friday night.
In a dispute which is said to have stemmed from Yandiev being reminded of a 2 million ruble debt to Kharitonov, footage showed the pair leaving the arena and entering a cloakroom area, where a casually-dressed Kharitonov first placed his hands in his pockets, seemingly unaware of the impending assault from a suited Yandiev.
After squaring up to his fellow MMA fighter, Yandiev landed two rapid-quick blows on Kharitonov, sending him stumbling backwards.

The 250lbs giant managed to regain his composure, grappling with Yandiev as the pair tumbled to the ground, where Yandiev rained down more punches from on top of his rival.

Separate footage showed the pair continuing the struggle as the police stepped in, with the 32-year-old Yandiev removing his jacket and appearing to roll up his sleeves as a bloodied Kharitonov was escorted safely away.

The altercation followed an earlier attack in which Yandiev had set upon businessman and amateur MMA fighter Ruslan Abdo, a 41-year-old friend of Kharitonov, breaking his nose in an assault also captured on camera.

I don’t know these guys. Did i understand correctly that a UFC middleweight beat up a Bellator Heavyweight and his friend on the same day?

Firing off a punch at a guy with his hands in his pockets who doesn't know he is in a fight is a sucker punch anywhere in the world, mete. If you don't think it is, it means that you're a scumbag who probably sucker punches people (even though you shouldn't have to).

Who knows if Karitonov deserved to be sucker punched - I'm not one to judge what is ethical conduct among Russian mobsters - but a sucker punch is a sucker punch.

The sucker puncher is the guy who owes the money. So he’s a welcher and a cheap shot artist. That was definitely a pair of cheap shots. You wrong.

Most cops would struggle to separate two professional mma fighters. You dork.
If they were resisting and actually fighting the cops, sure. But the old Ruskie cops were too zonked on Krokodil and cabbage to even try.

a fair fight is the first indicator of a strategic failure.
I think the first strategic mistake was putting his hands in his pocket whilst squaring up to a guy he was going to antagonize by being rocky the debt collector.

Kharitonov is just going to sell the debt to some knee-cappers and move on with his life.
