‘Buchecha’ pumped for Kade-Langaker clash, favors American divisional king to come out on top

While waiting for his own return to the Circle, unbeaten ONE Championship heavyweight sensation Marcus ‘Buchecha’ Almeida can’t wait to witness a critical lightweight submission grappling match that will go down in a few weeks’ time.

Like many, ‘Buchecha’ is intrigued by the upcoming showdown between reigning ONE lightweight submission grappling world champion Kade Ruotolo and IBJJF European Open champion Tommy Langaker.

The two Brazilian jiu-jitsu savants are set to lock horns at ONE Fight Night 11: Eersel vs. Menshikov on Prime Video. The event broadcasts live from the historic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on Friday, June 9 and will stream absolutely free to fans in the United States and Canada with an active Amazon Prime subscription.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Almeida could not contain his excitement regarding this matchup.

‘Buchecha’ said:

“It’s gonna be a good one, but I think Kade is still the better man.”

It’s certainly going to be an incredible matchup, one that every martial arts fan will enjoy.

Meanwhile, ‘Buchecha’ is gearing up for his own return to action.

The 17-time BJJ world champion is scheduled to face African star ‘Reug Reug’ Oumar Kane at ONE Fight Night 13 on Prime Video. ONE Championship recently announced the heavyweight booking.

The two hulking heavyweights have been on a collision course for some time now, and at ONE Fight Night 13, they finally get to settle their differences.

‘Buchecha’ is undefeated in his pro MMA career since transitioning from the sport of submission grappling. On the other hand, ‘Reug Reug’ is 4-1 in the promotion.
