Sergei Kharitonov

Pride Fighting Championships: The only time you've lost was when you were 18 in Sweden? Sergei Kharitonov: No. That was a joke!

Pride:	Oh, so you've never lost?
Kharitonov:	No. No.
Pride:	Has anything new happened to you since last month?
Kharitonov:	I'm going to get married.
Pride:	Really?
Kharitonov:	Yeah, to a Japanese girl (laughing).
Pride:	After you become Champion?
Kharitonov:	Yeah, right (laughing).
Pride:	What is your strategy for beating Nogueira?
Kharitonov:	I've thought up several game plans but I don't know which one I will use until Sunday.
Pride:	What are your hobbies?
Kharitonov:	I play chess. I also play accordion.
Pride:	You used a different mount in your fight against Semmy Schilt. Is that the "Russian Mount"?
Kharitonov:	It wasn't intentional. I just felt that Semmy didn't have much power in his shoulder and my legs are very strong, so I thought it would be good to do.
Pride:	Is it called the "Russian Mount"?
Kharitonov:	No, it's just something I came up with at home. I call it "cooking at home".
Pride:	So, you have practiced it in training.
Kharitonov:	Yes.
Pride:	Are you at all surprised at how quickly you've become successful in PRIDE?
Kharitonov:	I'm really happy of my success. I think the reason for the success is my training.
