Malykhin, ONE champion: “In the cage, Kane acts out of fear, but for me, getting into the ring is a holiday”

ONE champion in three weight categories Anatoly Malykhin On , he said he was confident of winning by knockout in the fight against Senegalese Oumar Kane.

Malykhin will make his first defense of the ONE heavyweight belt against Kane on November 9 in Bangkok.

– The guy is good. It is said that he did not lose to anyone for five years. Physically very strong. He has good balance, which he demonstrated in fights. But the technique offered by the Russian school of freestyle wrestling is not available anywhere, it is unique. There are no analogues. We have the best wrestlers. I know my wrestling was at a good level. I am confident in my fight. Kane won’t surprise me, but I can surprise him.

Kane is ideal for not being silent, promoting the fight and recording a video. He must be versatile, giving interviews even if he is tired. Your job is not just to fight. But on the 9th, the morning will definitely not be good for him. I feel good. My muscles are in good condition. I’m sure I’ll knock him out.

Often, before a fight, after training, well-prepared fighters were not focused and were not charged. They had lost their strength and their mood. I think this guy is one of them. He doesn’t feel very well before the fight. And in the cage itself, he acts out of fear. And there are other guys who go out and fight like it’s a vacation. I fall more into this category. It’s a vacation for me in the ring. I like competitions, fights and pleasing the public. In the Russian Federation, they began to support me a lot. I feel it, the support of my people. And that energizes me a lot,” Malykhin said on .

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.
