The 971 MMA and Black Panther Sports star has been one of the most terrifying fighters in the ONE heavyweight MMA division after posting three finishes in five victories since his promotional debut in January 2021.

Kane's near-unstoppable run has netted him an opportunity to challenge three-division MMA king Anatoly Malykhin for the ONE heavyweight MMA world championship at ONE 169 on Nov. 8 inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Anatoly Malykhin not at all threatened by 'Reug Reug'

Anatoly Malykhin, who also holds the ONE light heavyweight and middleweight MMA world championships, feels Oumar Kane stands no chance against him come ONE 169.

'Sladkiy' recently said in an interview with ONE:

"No, he didn't [impress me]. He's slow. He's not a bad wrestler, but his level of functional training is poor. He didn't surprise me at all. He fought at his level."

ONE 169 will air live from the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. The full card will be free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
