“These guys always take risks” - Anatoly Malykhin guarantees a knockout result when Superbon and Tawanchai meet again at ONE 170

Reigning and undisputed ONE light heavyweight and middleweight MMA world champion 'Sladkiy' Anatoly Malykhin of Russia can't wait to witness the blockbuster Muay Thai pairing going down this weekend at ONE 170.

ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai is set to defend his gold against featherweight kickboxing king Superbon in a highly anticipated world title rematch.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Malykhin says he does not expect this fight to go the full distance.

'Sladkiy' stated:

"These guys always take risks. They are knockout artists, and we all love knockouts, so I will definitely watch this fight."

Tawanchai and Superbon first met at ONE Friday Fights 46 in December 2023, where they battled in a five-round thriller that ended in a majority decision for the PK Saenchai Muay Thai gym representative.

Now, two years later, the two will meet again in one of the biggest events of the year.

Malykhin simply can't wait to see how the rematch unfolds as both men look to establish their dominance in the division.

It all comes to a head at ONE 170.
