The next heavyweight MMA contender would likely emerge once the rubble clears between colossal titans Ben Tynan and Kirill Grishenko.
These two larger-than-life figures are set to go on a collision course at ONE Fight Night 34: Eersel vs. Jarvis on Prime Video on Aug. 1 inside 'The Mecca of Muay Thai' Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Reigning ONE heavyweight MMA world champion 'Reug Reug' Oumar Kane is expected to figure in a rematch with the same man he dethroned, Anatoly Malykhin, sometime this year.
By the looks of it, the victor of Tynan versus Grishenko can inch closer to 26 pounds of gold.

'Vanilla Thunder' became a massive hit with the global audience with his flamboyant swagger and affable personality. His undeniable charisma, of course, is backed by elite-level talent, particularly an overwhelming wrestling pedigree.
Tynan showcased what he's all about when he dismantled Kang Ji Won with ease and finished him off with an arm-triangle choke in 2023.
However, the Canadian will no doubt be tested like never before when he takes on a proven veteran with redemption on his mind.
Grishenko has come a long way since losing his interim heavyweight world title bout against Malykhin back in 2022. The Belarusian mauler has displayed improved skills in his two-fight winning streak against Won and, most recently, Mauro Cerilli.
Confirmed fights at ONE Fight Night 34
