The short video highlighted the brute strength of 'Reug Reug,' and he was seen breaking a baseball bat by simulating a leg lock submission with it. He ripped apart the bat with relative ease in less than five seconds.

This display of power by the Senegalese MMA star has left fans in awe, as users @georgegeophoto, @simbathekimba, @tek_care, @solarsalmon, @cobali.medicinanatural, and @smartoh_ sent their reactions through their comments:

"I would never tap. I just wouldn't get in the ring with him at all 😂"
"they should change the caption to "this is why you cant fight reug reug"
"It look easy... For him"
"Please dont do that! You could hurt yourself with a cut!!! Save it for the russian!"
Ooohh!! Ouch!!! Just imagine the pain 😢"
"Nah, I ain't getting in that ring 😂"

Oumar 'Reug Reug' Kane claims that Anatoly Malykhin had been ducking him for months

Ahead of their world championship showdown, Kane has fired some shots against 'Sladkiy' through a recent Instagram story he posted, where he claimed that Malykhin only accepted a fight with him because he ran out of excuses:

"Nowhere to hide fake guy @anmalykhin. You ran for months until you ran out of excuses 🤡"
