– Sergei Kharitonov recently spoke with mmajunkie.com, here are the highlights…

On Avenging His Loss to Javy Ayala: “I would never say (it was) an upset. I don’t believe in upsets. I don’t believe in lucky punches. I believe that that was my mistake and he capitalized on that, so I don’t want to take that away from him. But I will prepare for him and I would like to get a rematch.”

On His Goals in Bellator: “My immediate goals are to beat Chase Gormley, ask for a rematch against Javy Ayala and, long term, to get a belt and be a champion. It’s kind of a complex question. MMA is so unpredictable. Things switch. One minute, one guy’s on top, the next minute the next guy’s on top. Right now, what’s my immediate goal and what I’m looking at is fighting Chase Gormley and asking for a rematch against Javy Ayala, and once that’s done with I’ll see who’s next and who’s ahead and who’s fighting for the title.”
