Anatoly Malykhin is confident he'll enjoy an early night against 'Reug Reug' Oumar Kane at ONE 169. The Russian superstar is just days away from defending his ONE heavyweight MMA world title on Nov. 8 against the Senegalese juggernaut at the famed Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
After etching his name in the history books as a three-division world champion earlier this year, Malykhin has developed an aura of invincibility that isn't easy to break.
Speaking to ONE Championship ahead of his world title war with 'Reug Reug,' Anatoly Malykhin described how this fight is going to go:
"It'll end quickly. In my first two or three attacks, I'll test his reactions, although I doubt he'll react at all, and then I'll knock him out with a left hook that night."
