"I'll make sure to bring him a pillow" - Ben Tynan vows to put Anatoly Malykhin to sleep in potential showdown
Rising ONE Championship heavyweight MMA star 'Vanilla Thunder' Ben Tynan is coming off the heels of a first-round technical knockout of Australia's Duke Didier earlier this month.
The undefeated 30-year-old Canadian MMA fighter scored his second straight victory in the world's largest martial arts organization, making quick work of 'The Duke of Canberra' with a strong wrestling performance while showcasing his dynamite hands.
The two met at ONE Fight Night 21: Eersel vs. Nicolas on Prime Video last April 6th at the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
After the fight, Tynan went on to call out three-division MMA world champion 'Sladkiy' Anatoly Malykhin, who holds the middleweight, light heavyweight, and heavyweight straps in ONE.
Responding to an Instagram post on ONE Championship's official social channels, Tynan took a quick swipe at Malykhin to drum up interest in their fight.
'Vanilla Thunder' wrote:
"Someone's definitely gonna be sleeping in the first round. I'll make sure to bring @anmalykhin a pillow."
