Gegard Mousasi added another solid win to his resume. The former Strikeforce light heavyweight champ again tried his hand at K-1 and came away the victor over Kyotara. The Japanese veteran was fresh off an appearance in K-1's World Grand Prix but was no match for the smaller Mousasi, who went on to a unanimous decision win at Dynamite!! 2010 in Saitama, Japan.
Mousasi brought the pain in the second round when he landed an overhand right on the chin. Kyotara was rubber legged and went down hard with 1:30 left in the round. It took 14 seconds for the referee to re-start the fight and Kyotara was still in bad shape. He was tough and ate some big shots, but survived. Mousasi was a bit gassed in the final round but avoided any significant damage. He's now 5-0 under K-1 rules.
MMA veteran Sergei Kharitonov scored the best knockout of the early fights. He walked straight forward with zero fear of Tatsuya Mizuno's punching power. The Japanese fighter landed several solid rights but the Russian was unphased as he waited to launch his attack. The first decent punch Kharitonov landed destroyed Mizuno.
A right down the pipe rocked Mizuno, who then took a knee right in the face and fell to his back, where he caught two more punches for good measure. He was out cold for a few minutes as medical handlers tried to talk to him. Kharitonov gets MMA win No. 17 at 1:25 of the first round.
He probably wouldn't have been in the ring if the fight card was in the U.S. Kharitanov was also part of the WGP card two weeks and lost via brutal KO that night. In the states, he'd likely receive a 45 or 60 day medical suspension. Apparently, he was healthy enough to cruise by an outgunned fighter in Mizuno.
