The strength of top heavyweight MMA contender Oumar 'Reug Reug' Kane is undeniable, and he showcased this in a throwback video that ONE Championship reposted on Instagram.
In the video, Kane crushed two watermelons with ease by just hugging them. The promotion captioned the video with:
"Jarred Brooks' face said it all 😂 Reug Reug is gearing up to face fellow Senegalese behemoth Boucher Ketchup in heavyweight kickboxing action at ONE Fight Night 23 on @primevideo! How will it end? @reugreug"
