Bellator215: Mitrione kicks Kharnitov in the balls (and it really, really hurt!)
12 seconds into the opening round, southpaw Matt Mitrione blasts righty Sergei Kharitonov in the nuts going for an inside leg kick. Kharitonov could not continue so the fight is No Contest.
He was examined in the hospital, left, then came back because of the level of pain. Now Middle Easy is reporting this:

After another round of tests, the doctors determined he did not suffer from any interal bleeding. According to Bellator sources, he does have a hemorrhoid as a result of the kick and has been given topical and pain medication by doctors. He was discharged again moments ago.

Tough way to earn a living.
EDIT:
Fight No 3 on the main card at Bellator 216 is Cheick Kongo vs another godless Russian, Vitaly Minakov (now on live). Early in the first, Kongo aimed a little low with a knee to the midsection and caught Minakov in the nards (but the fight continued).
Sergei Kharitonov is sitting at ringside. He probably thinks there's an anti-Russian conspiracy going on.
