Russian Anatoly Malikhin he is very angry with the Canadian of Indian origin Arkhan Bhullar, so this fight will be fundamental for him. About this “” said the manager of the Russian fighter Alexander Skaredin.
The fight for the ONE Championship heavyweight belt will take place on March 25 in Singapore. The Asian Organization interim champion and full owner of the Malykhin light heavyweight belt has a first 11 MMA wins. In his last fight, the Russian knocked out Renier de Ridder of the Netherlands in the first round in early December and stripped him of his light heavyweight belt. A heavyweight champion Bhullar has 11 wins and one loss. The last time the Canadian fought was in April 2021. The fight between Bhullar and Malykhin failed more than once through the fault of the Canadian.
– I wouldn’t use a verb like “okay”. The man had an alternative – defend his belt or do whatever. And Bhullar has gathered his thoughts, he is ready. But, unfortunately, we won’t be able to see his real preparation until closer to March 24,” Skaredin told .
– There was an official announcement of the fight, respectively, contracts were signed.
We signed a contract. But here’s another point… Tolya has signed contracts for the fight with Bhullar more than twice. So it’s not a matter of our desire and agreements with us, it’s a matter of Bhullar and his preparation.
I would generally look at this confrontation differently. Tolya is a tall Siberian man. And when he talked about his duel with de Ridder… Clearly, given the nuances of the industry, he needed to download that encounter. But then Tolya said, “Well, I didn’t really have to fight him, because Renier is a normal, family guy.” He didn’t have any negative emotions towards de Ridder, and he’s especially angry with Bhullar, so if Arkhan doesn’t fly anymore from this battle, then Anatoly’s goal will be to hurt him.
– You stipulate that Bhullar “will again be able to fly off the battlefield”. That is, in the Malykhin team are they ready for another cancellation of the confrontation?
– Well, this fight should already be happening. Bhullar is the stage we must leave behind. You need to put a tick otherwise we have some sort of open case that is putting pressure on you. Tolya really wants this fight. In my opinion, it’s not even a question of belt… It seems to me that nobody asks questions about a real champion. I repeat, Anatoly is just angry with this person and he wants her to suffer a little.
