His opponent, Sergei Kharitonov, has a record of 27-6-0 (93% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.30 in the same weight class. He lost to Javy Ayala in 2016 (Kharitonov vs Ayala) but then he has collected four victories and one no-contest, against Anotn Vyazigin (originally a majority decision for Sergei then overturned due to an accidental eye poke, Sergei Kharitonov vs Anton Vyazigin); before this bout he had defeated Joey Beltran (Sergei Kharitonov vs Joey Beltran).
