'Reug Reug' wants to silence Anatoly Malykhin once and for all at ONE 169: "I'm going to kill this guy"
'Reug Reug' Oumar Kane is sick and tired of playing along to Anatoly Malykhin's mind games, and at ONE 169, the Senegalese powerhouse is prepared to shut him up for good.
The Black Panther Sports and ReugReug MMA representative meets the promotion's three-division world champion in a ONE heavyweight MMA world title fixture inside the Lumpinee Stadium on Nov. 8.
Ahead of his first dance for gold, the 32-year-old told Nick Atkin that it will be strictly business when he collides with 'Sladkiy', admitting that his goal is to get this assignment done and dusted early.
'Reug Reug' shared:
"I am ready for everything. I'm going to kill this guy. I'm going to knock him out. I'm going to shut his mouth, this guy."
For him to walk the talk, the Thiaroye sur Mer native will need to be at his level best. But given the form he's in, there are signs that he can walk out of the legendary stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, with his hand raised.
Kane has finished four of his six triumphs on the global stage inside the distance, and that colossal knockout power is something he'd need to rely on once more if he wants to become the heavyweight king and the first man to beat Malykhin.

'Reug Reug' says he'll bring a new package in world title fight at ONE 169
Despite enjoying a solid tenure in ONE Championship, many aren't entirely convinced that 'Reug Reug' deserves a dance for 26 pounds of gold.
But as someone who's constantly working on fine-tuning his game, Kane admits he'd be more than ready to show the world that he will be a completely different animal in this world title showdown.
He told ONE Championship in a previous interview:
"The mentality is different. The power is different. The skills are going to be different."
ONE 169 will be available to active Amazon Prime Video subscribers in North America.
