“He was not nice” - Fans symphatize with Mitch Chilson after receiving a toned down head kick from ‘Reug Reug’

One of ONE Championship commentator Mitch Chilson's biggest perks is that he gets to interact with fighters during fight week, but as fans witnessed recently, there can be some downsides to that.

Recently, the promotion published a short clip on Instagram where Chilson asked heavyweight MMA contender Oumar Kane to head kick him with toned-down power. The caption to the post read:

"Power kick 😮‍💨 Is Reug Reug poised to dethrone Anatoly Malykhin as the heavyweight MMA king at ONE 169: Atlanta? @reugreug"

As seen in the video, 'Reug Reug' landed a solid kick to 'The Dragon's' head that clearly dazed him, despite only putting a little power behind it. This clip is a testament to how much power the Senegalese superstar carries.

This moment received mixed reactions from fans because some sympathized with Chilson but at the same time, others found the clip entertaining. Platform users @goldenmandigo, @super_aesthetic_athlete, @zip_perrr and @mauichefmaui commented:

"He's so strong that even the NICE stuff is powerful"

"😂 be nice. Okay 💥😂😂😂"

"Be nice"

"It took 3-5 business days to connect, he WAS being nice"

Kane is fresh off a first-round knockout victory against Boucher Ketchup in his kickboxing debit on July 5 as part of the ONE Fight Night 23 card, which went down inside the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
