The 37-year-old Kharitonov, undefeated in five M-1 Challenge events, has defeated some of the greatest heavyweight MMA fighters of all-time, duk da Alistair Overeem, Andrei Arlovski, Fabricio Werdum da kuma Pedro Rizzo.
A 6′ 6″, 265-pound Vyazigin, who is coming off a sensational 16-seconds knockout ofZaur Gadzhibabayev this past March at M-1 Watna 89, sat in the “hot seat” leading up to Thursday’s showdown to answer some questions:
Tell us about your training camp. Did you change a lot of your regular training methods for a fight against Kharitonov?
AV: “My training camp was no different from any other camp. As always, I had many sparring sessions, wrestled a lot, and was focused on functional training. In general, it was just another camp. I trained at home in Cherepovets, because this is where I belong. I have good relations with fighters from many gyms, but I have never gone anywhere to a training camp. I don’t have enough money to go abroad for a camp, I work for myself.
I feel comfortable training in my gym. I have a great team, including some heavyweights, and we always help each other. If I have a fight scheduled, guys help me; if some other guys have fights, we all help them.”
How much will you weigh for the fight?
AV: “I think this time I will be at least 265 pounds before the fight, maybe even a bit heavier. I would not say I am that huge, there are many guys bigger than me. When I was a child, I used to be skinny and tall and only when I was n the Army did I start to gain weight. Yanzu, when I am 265 fam. I breath good, and I think this weight is perfect for me.
What are your predictions for the upcoming fight? Are you going to fight Kharitonov standing or would like to take him down?
AV: In our weight class, one missed punch can end the fight, so I think we have equal chances to win this fight. During camp, we train for everything, so I will be ready to fight him standing but, idan bukatar, I will take him down, because it is very important in MMA to be able to change the game plan during the fight.”
Give us your thoughts on the vacant M-1 Challenge heavyweight title. Do you see yourself as champion in a couple more fights?
AV: “Yanzu, I am concentrated on the upcoming fight but, a, definitely if I win this fight I will be the No. 1 matakin matsakaicin nauyi contender. Duk da haka, I do not think about it right now. My goal is to fight the strongest and most experienced opponents, who are rated higher than me.
“I am not fighting in Saint-Petersburg for the first time and I really enjoy competing in this city. I think some fans will root for Sergey, but there will also be a lot of fans supporting me in the M-1 Arena on May 24th!”
