I'm looking forward to the LeBanner tilt, but Kharitonov was arguably a top 10 HW when Pride closed their doors. I was really looking forward to that matchup as it would have been a great test for both fighters. What ever happened to the bout that was supposed to take place between Cro Cop and Kharitonov?

But for cro cop this match won t help him to improve his mma game and so his come back in the cage imo. it s gonna be a stand up war no doubt about it.Lebanner is willing to show that he s a real contender against Semmy;(just rewatch the last fight to understand;without his leg injury he would have taken the outcome).So i predict fireworks for this fight and from both fighters.

I've always thought he had the athleticism and size to be a very good contender in MMA(albeit he is late in his fight career), and it would be awesome to see him utilize a ground game, or even diversify his standup with a few takedown attempts just to keep Mirko guessing. All in all, it is a huge test for both of them, and will be a great fight. If Lebanner shoots for a takedown effectively, I will fall out of my chair.
