'Reug Reug' Oumar Kane's chilling warning to Anatoly Malykhin ahead of heavyweight clash at ONE 169: Atlanta

Oumar 'Reug Reug' Kane wanted to send a message at ONE Fight Night 23 and he did exactly that by putting on a show inside Lumpinee Stadium.

The first box that he needed to tick off was ending a social media beef that needed to come to an end, one way or another.

As a result, he was booked in a late notice heavyweight kickboxing contest with his fellow Senegalese wrestler, Boucher Ketchup.

The fight itself was simply no match for Kane who has far more experience competing in martial arts meaning that his striking was light years ahead of what his opponent brought to the table.

He stopped him in the first round with relative ease but this fight wasn't just about silencing his rival, it was about putting his knockout power on full display.

Another man that has been critical of Kane in recent times is his next opponent, the ONE heavyweight world champion Anatoly Malykhin.

He sent this message to the champion in his post-fight interview with the South China Morning Post:

"Malykhin, I'm gonna k*ll you. That's it."

Oumar 'Reug Reug' Kane refuses to be underestimated

Anatoly Malykhin may be a three weight world champion but the ferocious power of Oumar 'Reug Reug' Kane is not something that can be taken lightly.

Malykhin will know that with his speed, movement and striking skills, he will not be nearly as easy to hit as Boucher Ketchup was this past weekend.

However, as is often the case with heavyweights, Kane only needs one shot to close the show and that's what he will try to do when they collide in the main event of ONE 169 on November 8.

Only one man can leave Atlanta with the heavyweight strap around their waist and whoever lands first could be the one to do it.
