Tyrone Spong is looking forward to the challenge of resuming his MMA career. Boasting an array of accolades in both the kickboxing and boxing world, Spong (2-0) will return to MMA for the first time since 2013 when he faces Sergei Kharitonov (33-9-2) in the main event of Eagle FC 44 , which takes place Jan. 28 at FLXcast Arena in Miami and streams live on the FLXcast app. In 2014, Spong snapped his shin in a kickboxing bout against Gokhan Saki for the inaugural GLORY light heavyweight title. Saki checked a Spong kick, which fractured Spong’s lower right leg and ended the fight via TKO. Despite the gruesome injury, Spong says his fighting future was never in question

Fortune (9-1 MMA, 9-1 BMMA) got back in the win column when he defeated Said Sowma by unanimous decision in the co-main event Thursday night. Speaking at the post-fight news conference, Fortune proceeded to call Sergei Kharitonov out, who Fortune says was meant to be his original opponent before the Russian turned him down. “This fight was supposed to be against Sergei Kharitonov,” Fortune said. “I stepped up and I was originally scheduled to fight Linton (Vassell) in December and we both had accepted that fight, and then Kharitonov’s opponent fell out.

Kharitonov dropped 47-year-old Williams hard in the first round with a clubbing left hook, then finished the British heavyweight in the second round after some heavy shots from close quarters sent Williams staggering backward.
