Malykhin publicly accused the heavyweight king of stalling — a claim Kane dismissed with confidence. Now, with all unfinished business on the line, the rivals will settle their score once and for all. “Reug Reug” first met Malykhin at ONE 169 in November 2024, claiming the ONE Heavyweight MMA World Title from him in a razor-close split decision that ended the Russian’s undefeated run and handed him the first loss of his career.
Since then, the man from Black Panther Sports and TRIPL3 MMA has not stood still. With a 7-1 MMA record and five consecutive victories behind him, the 6-foot fighter has spent every moment since that historic night preparing to be even better. Speaking to onefc.
