Heavyweight MMA king ‘Reug Reug’ wants to fight Anatoly Malykhin “for all the titles” in Tokyo super show

Oumar 'Reug Reug' Kane wants all the glory when he faces old rival Anatoly Malykhin in Tokyo.

The reigning ONE heavyweight MMA world champion will defend his throne against Malykhin in a world title rematch in the co-main event of ONE 173 on November 16 at Ariake Arena in Tokyo.

Kane posted on Instagram that he's not content with defending his throne against Malykhin, but he wants to take all of the Russian juggernaut's remaining belts.

Although Malykhin has lost the heavyweight MMA strap to 'Reug Reug', he still holds the ONE middleweight and light heavyweight MMA world titles.

Kane posted:

"So @anmalykhin you said this is an easy fight 😴… You said the same last time, and look whose hand was raised. Let’s stop the talk! If you’re really who you say you are, let’s make this fight for ALL the belts! This is the biggest Heavyweight MMA fight of a generation in Japan 🇯🇵🔥"

He added:

"Let’s do it for all the titles 🏆🏆🏆! If you’re scared, I get it… because without those titles, who even are you? 🤷‍♂️ @yodchatri let’s give the fans what they deserve!"

Malykhin was a perfect 14-0 (6-0 in ONE Championship) when he defended the ONE heavyweight MMA world title against Kane in the main event of ONE 169 in Bangkok.

That aura of invincibility, however, took some cracks when he struggled to impose his overwhelming offensive game plan against Kane's unorthodox Senegalese wrestling.

'Reug Reug' held his ground and even took down Malykhin early in the fight, with 'Sladkiy' mounting a comeback with his boxing in the championship rounds.

Malykhin's late surge, however, proved too late, and Kane held on for the split decision win to claim the ONE heavyweight MMA world title.

Tickets for ONE 173 will be available through ePlus.
