“It’s sleep time” - Oumar ‘Reug Reug’ Kane vows to turn the tables on Anatoly Malykhin
Senegalese wrestling sensation Oumar 'Reug Reug' Kane wants to prove naysayers wrong and he can't wait to deliver a beatdown on three-division MMA world champion 'Sladkiy' Anatoly Malykhin later this year.
'Reug Reug' is coming off a first-round finish of countryman Boucher Ketchup at ONE Fight Night 23 on Prime Video last week. And now, the 32-year-old heavyweight behemoth shifts his focus to a much more important fight coming up.
'Reug Reug' is set to challenge Russia's 'Sladkiy' Anatoly Malykhin for the ONE heavyweight MMA world title.
The two lock horns at ONE 169: Atlanta, which broadcasts live from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia on Friday, November 8th.
Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action live on Amazon Prime Video.
Speaking to Sportskeeda MMA in an exclusive interview, 'Reug Reug' fired warning shots at Malykhin, and vowed to finish the hard-hitting Russian.
The 32-year-old said:
"Yeah. For Anatoly, it’s sleep time. Malykhin, I have a big hand. Big power."
Malykhin is undefeated as a professional MMA fighter with an impressive 14-0 clip. All 14 of his wins have come by finish, which includes 10 knockouts and 4 submissions.
He is the reigning and undisputed ONE heavyweight, light heavyweight, and middleweight MMA world champion and has a perfect record in the world's largest martial arts organization.
