If anyone tries to stay standing with him, it can end very quickly. I think Overeem is the only one in the tourney that could actually stand with him and live to tell the tale.

If you missed it, check out his last K-1 fight.
Khartionov has always had heavy hands and and always pressures his opponents into the corner, but he doesn't always win at it either. I actually think it worked out perfect if he gets Barnett/Rogers winner, because that's just a great match up.
Still so many variables until we see who else advances. If it's all upsets, then it's anybody's game.

I think the way Kharitonov wades in plays right into Barnetts hands for takedowns. I'm expecting Barnett to destroy Rogers.

Hes a great standup fighter but seems somewhat inconsistent, hes beaten overeem and werdum in the past but has a loss to Jeff Monson, last night proved one thing imo that anyone could win this thing

He definitely has a chance. From what I remember, he has a recurring shoulder injury, but if he stays healthy, he's one of my remaining favorites.

Barnett, Werdum, Silva, and Overeem all can take him down and finish it there.

lets look at his wins.
Wins over- Ninja, Schilt, Rizzo, Werdum, and Overeem.
A win over AA is not notable anymore. After your 3rd loss you become a untoable win.
Sergie is well rounded and he can beat almost anyone in the tourney. he will have trouble IMO if he faces Barnett or Overeem stylictly.
can he win it? why not.

Everyone in this tournament has a chance of winning.
It's not always the best fighter that wins either.

he has a problem dealing with speed. Arlovski was tagging him, but he just kept moving back with his hands down and got caught. Sergeis stand up is very flat footed. I dont think he makes it out of the next round.

He has a punchers chance against anyone in the tournament but KOing Arlovski doesn't prove all that much considering it's been done 7 times now.

I think he has a reasonable chance to make the finals, but a poor chance of winning the whole thing. But if last night reminded us of any thing, it's that you just never know with MMA tournaments.
