Reigning and undisputed ONE heavyweight, light heavyweight, and middleweight MMA world champion 'Sladkiy' Anatoly Malykhin of Russia is ready to make his highly anticipated return to the ONE Championship ring when he heads back to Thailand to defend one of his golden belts.
Malykhin will put his heavyweight belt on the line against brash Senegalese wrestler Oumar 'Reug Reug' Kane early next month, and fans expect it to be an absolute doozy.
Before the highly anticipated showdown, however, ONE Championship posted a throwback fight of one of Malykhin's early exploits in the world's largest martial arts organization.
Malykhin trumped hard-hitting Belarusian Kirill Grishenko at ONE: Bad Blood in February of 2022, winning by second-round knockout.
