Aung La N Sang expects Anatoly Malykhin and Oumar Kane's world title clash to end in knockout

Former ONE middleweight and light heavyweight MMA king Aung La N Sang predicts that the ONE heavyweight MMA world championship bout between the reigning Anatoly Malykhin and Oumar Kane at ONE 169: Atlanta will end up with someone getting knocked out.

In an interview with The AllStar, 'The Burmese Python' stated:

​

"I think someone's gonna get knocked out. They both have a lot of power, and they both have pretty good wrestling, too."

He added:

​

"'Reug Reug', I believe, is going to be a little bit bigger, right? Size-wise. But size doesn't mean everything as well, you know. Anatoly is always game. So I don't know, man. It's going to be a pretty even matchup as far as, like the skill set, the raw skill set goes, right?"

Watch ONE 169: Atlanta live inside the State Farm Arena on Nov. 8. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster.
