WATCH: Reinier de Ridder, Anatoly Malykhin, Tang Kai headline hitlist of ONE 166’s certified soul snatchers

ONE Championship has been the home of some of the world’s premier knockout artists in combat sports, and a handful of them are set to bring the dynamite at ONE 166 - the promotion’s first live event in Qatar.

With the Lusail Sports Arena serving as the backdrop on March 1, fans should be on the lookout for a couple of names, starting with the show’s headliners.

ONE 166 will see ONE light heavyweight and heavyweight MMA world champion Anatoly Malykhin’s quest for three-division supremacy as he rematches Reinier de Ridder - this time for the ONE middleweight MMA world championship.

The co-main event is also a cannot-miss affair as there will be a ONE featherweight MMA world championship unification bout between reigning world champion Tang Kai and interim world titleholder Thanh Le.

With a combined 20 victories by knockout and TKO, it would not be a surprise to see any of these four men adding to that total by the end of the night.
