Reug Reug expects this won't be the last time he meets Anatoly Malykhin in the ring: "We're gonna fight again"

'Reug Reug' Oumar Kane is fired up for the biggest fight of his career to date in ONE Championship.

The Senegalese powerhouse is no stranger to competing under the bright lights but this next contest is a step up.

In the main event of ONE 169, he will challenge for the ONE heavyweight MMA world championship against a titleholder that looks unstoppable right now.

The undefeated Anatoly Malykhin has been on a historic run, earning world championships in three different weight classes over the past couple of years.

Both of the heavyweight giants have shared some heated exchanges in the build-up to this contest and during fight week itself.

Though they will look to settle this inside the ring on Nov. 8 at Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium, 'Reug Reug' believes that this will be the first of multiple encounters between them.

Kane told Nick Atkin during a fight week interview that he believes they will meet again in the near future where he will once again emerge victorious:

"We're gonna fight again, I'm gonna beat him two times, we'll have another fight, he's going to call me. I going to teach you, Russian!"

Reug Reug is confident that Malykhin's run has come to an end

Beating a world champion is a big enough task on its own. But for 'Reug Reug,' he has to halt the momentum of an undefeated three-division world champion.

With Malykhin moving back to heavyweight for this one, he's been very outspoken about the fact that in his opinion, his challenger isn't nearly as skillful as he is.

The one dangerous aspect that 'Reug Reug' does present is that he's a natural heavyweight who wouldn't be able to move across the weight classes like Malykhin has.

He's got the size and power to trouble the divisional king, which his recent opponents did not.

ONE 169 will be available to active Amazon Prime Video subscribers in North America live in U.S. primetime today, Nov. 8.
