Bellator 215 Results: Mitrione vs. Kharitonov Stopped on Accidental Groin Kick
The Bellator 215 main event was stopped almost before it even got started.
Veterans Matt Mitrione and Sergei Kharitonov were primed for a good old-fashioned heavyweight slugfest at Bellator 215 on Friday night, the first of back-to-back events for the promotion on consecutive nights in the same venue, the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. But just as the fight got underway, it was stopped.
Mitrione met Kharitonov in the center of the cage, launching a kick with his left leg, but the kick went straight up the middle and into Kharitonov's groin. Deemed unable to continue, the fight went no further.
At the 15-second mark of the first round, the bout was ruled a no contest.
