Cro Cop vs Kharitonov at DREAM 4

From RedSweat.com:

According to the Sport Index at Index.hr, Mirko Filipovic will be fighting Sergei Kharitonov at the upcoming DREAM.4 event in mid June.

According to the article, Crocop was suppose to fight Kharitonov at the recent DREAM.1 event but Mirko turned down the bout stating that Sergei would be too tough a match for him after a six month break.

The official announcement of the bout will apparently be made at DREAM.2 which is set to take place on April 29. Olympia DREAM.2 will be the first round of the Middleweight GP.

Now that's what I'm talking about. Great matchmaking. Credible opponents. Competitive fight that will mean something in the bigger scheme of things. Is Cro Cop back? Is Kharitonov a top ten heavyweight? Is DREAM the resurrection of PRIDE?

This would have been a good match up in 2004. Now Sergei can't lift his arm past his neck without injuring his shoulders. Sure he looked good against Aleks at Final conflict '06, but Aleks was never a top fighter anyway. Alistair Overeem would be a much better match up for Mirko at this point. If he wins, he then has a victory over an American champion (Strikforce).

Didn't Sergei just beat Overeem at the K-1 Tournament Final 9/17/07 via strikes? 6 months isn't a long time.

Wow, this is great news, especially after that HMC rumor.

Let's hope it's true.
