Kharitonov: I would advise Fedor Emelianenko to be more active
Posted on February 22, 2011, 09:16 AM by Anton GurevichWhen will be your next fight? Do you plan to fight outside the Strikeforce Heavyweight GP?
Until the GP Semi-Finals I'll definitely have 2-3 fights. I want to keep myself in a good shape. You can always train hard, but without competing it will only have a negative effect during the fight. I had four fights during the recent months. I'm always in shape, and always ready to fight, both physically and mentally. So I think in this case more is better. And I would advise the same thing to Fedor Emelianenko. He needs more fights to get back on top.
You know Fedor for a very long time. Do you feel like something changed in him as a person?
I don't know if something changed or not. I know one thing – Fedor is a hard worker. We used to train a lot together. We woke up and did a cross country of 5-7km. We used to train 2-2 1/2 hours without stopping for one second. Always at work, always at sparring. Like I said before, Fedor is a very hard working man. He's very talented. And like people say, if someone is talented, he's talented in everything. He draws very well. He has many good characteristics. It's hard to say what changed in him. In my opinion, he just didn't fight enough. But the most important thing is that he feels a great responsibility. He has the whole Russia behind him, expecting a victory. So I think it also played some sort of part in his recent defeats. - Full Interview at ValeTudo.ru
Sergei Kharitonov knows what he's talking about. PRIDE veteran suffered from a continuous injuries over the past years, fighting once a year between 2008 and 2010. Kharitonov is currently 18-4 in his Mixed Martial Arts career, holding victories over Alistair Overeem, Fabricio Werdum, Pedro Rizzo and Murilo "Ninja" Rua. The Russian will face the winner of the fight between Josh Barnett and Brett Rogers, which is expected to take place sometime this Spring.

What's wrong with you being in a english-speaking site and insist on writing in Russian. Do you really think that people are so interested in your comments that they keep a google-translate tab in their browser open at all times? I hardly doubt it. So basically you are wasting your time writing things that only you can read.
Im not a native english speaker either, but since im here im giving a try to write in English s that people can read and understand my comments. Come on dude give it a shot!
На каком языке оставлять комментарии-это мое личное дело. Я же Вас не заставляю для русской аудитории писать на русском языке. На русских сайтах пользователи из англоязычных стран тоже оставляют свои комментарии на своих языках. И к ним нет никаких вопросов. Это Ваше личное дело читать или не читать, переводить или не переводить. Я оставил свои комментарии на своем языке, который мне дорог. У кого есть желание, пусть использует переводчик. У кого желания нет, тот проходит мимо и не обращает внимание. А Ваше личное мнение меня не интересует.
Just leave this dude alone. Whatever he writes and if you don't understand, just ignore it. Don't waste your time.
хороший ответ. Ему не нужно читать!
Dam everyone's telling Fedor what to do now...
Yeah, and now his wife wants him to work on his cardio.
