"I would do it" - Buchecha down for Reug Reug rematch after both superstars cruise to victory at ONE 169

Marcus 'Buchecha' Almeida wouldn't mind another chance to tango with 'Reug Reug' Oumar Kane.

The 17-time Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion returned to winning ways at ONE 169 inside the Lumpinee Stadium last week, the same night Kane pulled off the most iconic win of his career in the ONE 169 main event.

After 'Buchecha' registered a win over Amir Aliakbari via submission, Kane went the distance with Anatoly Malykhin, putting on a dominant performance to unseat the three-division MMA world champion at the summit of the heavyweight division.

Speaking to Bangkok Post's Nick Atkin on the possibility of a rematch with 'Reug Reug,' Almeida said:

"Of course, if I had the opportunity for a rematch, I would do it."

Before his trademark win over Aliakbari, which helped him maintain a 100 percent finishing rate, the BJJ icon had his perfect resume taken away by another dominant performance from the newly crowned kingpin.

With both men getting important Ws inside the Mecca of Muay Thai in Bangkok, Thailand, it now looks inevitable that their paths will cross soon.

North American fans who missed any of the action can watch the entire ONE 169 card via replay on Amazon Prime Video.
