"Pull up, smoke him, and bounce with the belt 😎🦍🇸🇳"
Kane was never shy in either calling out Malykhin or predicting what he'll do once they're locked inside the Circle.
The Senegalese wrestling machine's social media activity has revolved around his impending fight against Malykhin and what he believes is his destiny to reign atop ONE Championship's shark tank of a heavyweight MMA class.
Kane's confidence, though, wasn't just borne out of thin air.
The 32-year-old super grappler is 5-1 in his MMA matches in ONE Championship and is on a three-fight winning streak under the discipline.
His biggest MMA win to date was also his latest one when he outclassed the legendary 17-time BJJ world champion Marcus 'Buchecha' Almeida at ONE Fight Night 13 in Bangkok.
'Reug Reug' blasts Anatoly Malykhin's "one-dimensional" striking style
Anatoly Malykhin is arguably the most terrifying heavyweight striker on the planet, yet Oumar 'Reug Reug' Kane had the gall to downplay the Russian monster's fearsome power.
Malykhin, who also holds the ONE middleweight and light heavyweight MMA world titles, is a perfect 6-0 in ONE Championship and all six of his wins have come by way of knockout.
Kane, however, isn't that impressed.
In an interview with the South China Morning Post, Kane said it would be easy for him to match up with Malykhin on the feet.
"Yeah, it's easy for me. I do it easy, you know. Malykhin doesn't do high kicks, only punches. But in MMA, it's everything."
