Agreed. Surprised to see him the underdog, Sergei looked slow in his last few fights. Has had 45 odd fights and is 38I like Mitrione here.
Mitrione is actually the older man here. I see you being mistaken with facts quite often. Pls gtfoTook some Mitrione at +110. Favour him slightly being the younger, faster guy with a better chin. Sergei's getting too much respect for KOing Roy Nelson like he did but 2 years ago was getting destroyed by Javy Ayala in 16 seconds.
I sincerely apologise for my error but Mitrione has taken way less damage even if he is marginally older and as a fighter has far less mileage on him.Mitrione is actually the older man here. I see you being mistaken with facts quite often. Pls gtfo
Roy Nelson is slow nowadays and relies on takedowns in many fights lately so not surprising that Sergei was able to beat him on the feet. Mitrione has only been stopped by strikes by Roy Nelson in 2012 and Travis Brown more recently in 2016 and I think his reach at 79" vs Sergei's 76" if Wikipedia is to be believed will come into play.I favor Sergei because of his jab. He jabs really, really well for a good sized heavyweight. It's what allowed him to land so much on Nelson that he ended up stopping him.

We're leaving out that Mittrione was very nearly knocked out in his Bellator debut against a literal no one. His striking is powerful but I wouldn't call it technical. I legitimately believe Sergei is a more dynamic striker and that just is going to be important in this one.
And nearly (double) KO'd by a very done Fedor.
