Russian fighter Anatoly Malykhin looked brighter than Umar Kane in the fight for the One title in the heavyweight category, said coach Ramazan Ismailov.
Russian Malykhin, 36, lost to Senegalese Oumar Kane, 32, by split decision at the One Championship 169 tournament. This defeat was Malykhin’s first in his professional career and deprived him of the championship belt in the category those under 120 kg.
“I don’t think he lost.” Anatoly only missed one takedown. There was no finishing or anything. The defeat was probably determined by Malykhin becoming too important in the organization. Anatoly was more aggressive in the stance, pressing and striking. He won the fight. In every bright moment, Malykhin looked better, ”Ismailov told Metaratings.ru.
