Possibly: HUNT vs KHARITONOV!!!

TheOne · 05:20 AM

Sherdog news suggests that Sergei Kharitonov might tbe the opponent for Mark Hunt in Dream 5:

Former K-1 world grand prix final winner Mark Hunt (Pictures) has also been added to the proceedings. Even though no opponent for the big New Zealander has been pinned down yet, Dream event producer Keiichi Sasahara promised a "well-known, famous and super-strong foreign fighter" as foil for Hunt.

Former Pride heavyweight contender Sergei Kharitonov (Pictures) seems to be primed for the role having finally recovered from a persistent shoulder injury.

That fight has been one of my dream fights already for many years so I really hope it happens. I suppose Sergei should have slight edge in this fight but it's not going to be easy task for him. Any thoughts about possible match-up?

Have a feeling it will be a Korean fighter... Just because of the time available. Nothing wrong with it and I look forward to seeing Hunt back, but anyone famous want more time to prepare for a fight like that.

No.... FEG said they will have a well-known, foreign (from outside Asia) fighter to face off against Hunt!

I think Kharitonov sounds right
