ONE champion in three weight categories Anatoly Malykhin said that at present he does not see any competitors.
On Wednesday it became known that Malykhin will make his first defense of the ONE heavyweight belt on November 8 in Atlanta (USA) in a fight with Senegalese Oumar Kane. Malykhin holds the ONE titles in the middle, light and heavyweight divisions; The 36-year-old Russian has 14 victories in 14 fights during his MMA career. Kane, 32, has six wins and one loss.
“I was ready to fight any opponent. I don’t see that anyone can stop me, that anyone has the courage. I was ready to fight whoever the league gave me. Reig Reig has three consecutive victories and is a tough fighter. But Aliakbari is also on a good path now, and a newcomer, Ben Tynan, also challenged me. If they gave me three, I could drop all three in one evening. I am happy that ONE is expanding its horizons. The USA is a great platform: a good audience that I’m sure will love ONE, because ONE has the most uncompromising, most spectacular, bloodiest fights. Whatever the American public loves, ONE will give it to them. I think of course the American public will like me. I always take risks, I always want to knock out my opponent, I always move forward and try to deliver a spectacular fight. I think they like people like me, fighters who take risks,” Malykhin was quoted as saying by the ONE press service.
