"Malykhin doesn't do high kicks" - 'Reug Reug' confident in his chances against "one-dimensional" striker Anatoly Malykhin

Heavyweight MMA contender 'Reug Reug' Oumar Kane is not the least bit worried about the destructive power that Anatoly Malykhin possesses.

On November 8, live in US primetime, the Senegalese giant will challenge the Russian heavy bomber for his heavyweight MMA world title at ONE 169: Atlanta at State Farm Arena.

Malykhin's earth-shattering ability to put opponents to sleep has been well-documented in his pristine 14-0 record and absurd 100 percent finishing rate.

'Sladkiy's' concussive strikes have allowed him to make history, becoming the first fighter to conquer the promotion's heavyweight, light heavyweight, and middleweight divisions at the same time.

While Malykhin's name alone strikes fear in the hearts of his opposition, the defiant 'Reug Reug' doesn't seem to get the memo.

Speaking to the South China Morning Post in the aftermath of his one-round destruction of Boucher Ketchup last week, 'Reug Reug' explained why he's not afraid to go toe-to-toe with the triple champ:

"Yeah, it's easy for me. I do it easy, you know. Malykhin doesn't do high kicks, only punches. But in MMA, it's everything."

Watch the full interview:

'Reug Reug', who's primarily known for his wrestling, showcased his ever-evolving striking repertoire when he obliterated Ketchup in under a round in kickboxing rules at ONE Fight Night 23.

We'll soon see if 'Reug Reug' can walk the talk and be the first man to defeat Malykhin in combat.
