ONE 169: Anatoly Malykhin & Reug Reug Need to be Separated at Pre-fight Presser
By FCF Staff
Anatoly Malykhin and Oumar “Reug Reug” Kane will battle at ONE Championship’s latest event on Friday. But, the fighters nearly got into it at a pre-fight presser.
Malykhin will be looking to defend the heavyweight MMA title against Reug Reug at ONE 169, which is taking place in Bangkok, Thailand. After the two exchanged words and several feints at the pre-fight event a scuffle ensued that required security to intervene.
Malykhin (14-0), who also holds both of ONE’s middleweight and light-heavyweight MMA titles, is coming off a stoppage win over Reinier de Ridder in March.
Reug Reug (6-1) hasn’t competed since he recorded a decision win over Marcus “Bucheca” Almeida in 2023.
