A champion in three weight categories, Anatoly Malykhin, could claim the highest positions in the UFC, ACA heavyweight belt holder Evgeniy Goncharov told .
Malykhin will hold his first defense of the ONE heavyweight belt on November 8 in Bangkok against Senegalese Oumar Kane.
– Kane is dangerous in the first round. He struggles and tries to fight, and he tires quickly. And in the end, in the second or third round, Malykhin will most likely finish him off. I wish Anatoly victory! They are fighters of different levels. Anatoly’s stand-up work is much better. Kane is not trained. He is physically strong, but that’s it, his advantages end.
— Many people criticize Malykhin for his performance at ONE, where he has no competition.
— Anatoly has a good level. But any level should always be checked. And you have to check with the best. It was his choice and he decided to pursue his career there. However, everyone would like to see Anatoly in the UFC. There he could qualify for the highest places,” Goncharov told .
Malykhin’s statistics in MMA are 14 first victories, Kane has six victories and one defeat.
The ONE 169 tournament in Bangkok will be broadcast live on November 9 on and Match! Fighter,” begins at 04:00 Moscow time.
