"Two monster athletes going at it" - Jackie Buntan dissects 'insane' ONE 169 headliner between Anatoly Malykhin, Reug Reug

Striking superstar Jackie Buntan is confident the ONE 169 headliner between Anatoly Malykhin and 'Reug Reug' Oumar Kane will live up to its massive billing.

The Russian warrior, MMA's first three-division world champion, puts his ONE heavyweight world title on the line inside the Lumpinee Stadium against the Senegalese powerhouse.

With both men packing tons of strengths in every department, particularly their one-punch knockout power, Jackie Buntan has no doubt that they'll blow the roof off inside the Mecca of Muay Thai in Bangkok, Thailand.

In an exclusive exchange with Sportskeeda MMA, the Boxing Works martial artist told Sportskeeda MMA:

"Yeah, I think that fight is gonna have everybody standing up from their seats. Just two monster athletes going at it in four-ounce gloves, like it's gonna be insane."

Heading into his first world title defense, Malykhin boasts a 100 percent finishing record to go with his perfect 14-0 resume.

Meanwhile, Kane has been on a hot streak as of late, too, with four successive victories against Boucher Ketchup, Marcus 'Buchecha' Almeida, Jasur Mirzamukhamedov, and Batradz Gazzaev.

Plus, with plenty of heated exchanges between the pair on social media, the watching world can expect them to hold nothing back in this scheduled five-round tie.
