Default Kharitonov vs. Silva for EXC HW title?

Five Ounces of Pain | Antonio Silva vs. Sergei Kharitonov?

Their July show is really looking good. Two very good HWs vying for the title, the Lawler/Smith rematch, and Shields/Thompson for the 170 title. Kharitonov would be a major coup for EXC since I was almost positive he'd stay overseas. I don't know if he's ever fought in the states before.

This could be a big test for Bigfoot but does it hurt your org's credibility when you sign someone from outside of the org to fight for your title without them fighting for your org first? Oh wait, it's Elite. Nevermind.

Like Dan Henderson fighting Rampage?

But you're right...it's EXC. After the fight, we'll probably have a Kimbo appearance in the ring.

Different circumstances. Hendo was fighting for Pride who was purchased by the UFC, thus making them one in a way. They didn't sign Hendo as a stranger and then give him an immediate title shot.

Sergei is a great signing by them though.

That's different, Hendo had the pride 205lb title when he came to ufc. Therefore they needed to get rid of one title, and make one person the champ.

Is this actually going to be for a title? Last I checked, they didn't have one.

God, I hope so. Either Sergei or Silva would absolutely obliterate Kimbo.

This fight is to crown their first champion. This event on July 26 will crown a WW and HW champ and they are also having the Lawler-Smith rematch for the title.

And to answer your question, yes Sergei has fought in the states... He fought at PRIDE 33... I was there LIVE

This definitely adds a little intrigue to the card. I'd much rather see Bigfoot fight Silva than Dave Herman as first rumored. I say Kharitonov takes it.
