ONE 169 saw new world champions being crowned. In the main event, 'Reug Reug' Oumar Kane was crowned the new heavyweight MMA king after he outgunned Anatoly Malykhin in their five-round joust by decision.

Filipino-American Jackie Buntan became the maiden women's strawweight kickboxing queen for defeating veteran Anissa Meksen by decision.

Prior to the event, Thai superstar Rodtang Jitmuangnon was stripped of the flyweight Muay Thai world title for missing weight, but that did not hamper his performance on the night. He put another signature beatdown on British striker Jacob Smith in their rematch, which served as the co-headliner of the night.

Former flyweight world champion Adriano Moraes, for his part, answered fears of rust after a long layoff with his second-round submission (guillotine choke) win over Filipino rival Danny Kingad.

Also impressing with first-round submission victories in MMA were jiu-jitsu aces Kade Ruotolo and Marcus 'Buchecha' Almeida, who made short work of their respective opponents, Ahmed Mujtaba and Amir Aliakbari, while also taking home $50,000 performance bonuses.

Japanese atomweight fighter Ayaka Miura was given the hefty bonus as well with her first-round submission win over Macarena Aragon of Argentina.

Meanwhile, hacking out decision wins were Thai stars Kongthoranee Sor Sommai and Sam-A Gaiyanghadao, as well as emerging forces Aliff Sor Dechapan of Malaysia and Mohamed Younes Rabah of Algeria.

The full replay of ONE 169 is available on demand for Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
