Oumar 'Reug Reug' Kane scores brutal knockout in heavyweight kickboxing clash - ONE Fight Night 23 Highlights

Months before he’s scheduled to square off with three-division ONE world champion Anatoly Malykhin, top-ranked heavyweight contender Oumar ‘Reug Reug’ Kane stepped inside the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium for a kickboxing clash with countryman Boucher Ketchup.

Kane is best known for his work in ONE’s heavyweight MMA division, earning a noteworthy win over 17-time BJJ world champion Marcus ‘Buchecha’ Almeida in his last outing.

Still, that didn’t stop him from putting his impressive knockout power on display as part of ONE Fight Night 23 in Bangkok. Meeting ‘Reug Reug’ inside the Circle was Ketchup, a Senegalese standout known for his fan-friendly fighting style.

As soon as the bell rang, it was off to the races with Ketchup rushing in and attempting to land a flying hammer fist. Throughout the fight, the hammer fist appeared to be the only strike Ketchup was interested in—or possibly the only one he knew how to throw. As Kane kept his composure and mixed up his strikes, Ketchup continued to rush in, throwing combinations like a drunk guy in a toughman contest.

Eventually, Ketchup’s unorthodox striking came back to bite him as ‘Reug Reug’ knocked him down twice in the opening round, with the second knockdown keeping him down for the count.

Official Result: Oumar ‘Reug Reug’ Kane def. Boucher Ketchup via KO (strikes) at 2:08 of Round 1.

ONE Championship’s three-division world titleholder Anatoly Malykhin has his next title defense lined up.

Headlining the promotion’s highly anticipated debut inside State Farm Arena on November 8, ‘Sladkiy’ will put his 26 pounds of heavyweight gold on the line against Senegalese standout Oumar ‘Reug Reug’ Kane.

Malykhin has established himself as a one-man wrecking machine inside the Circle, amassing an undefeated record of 14-0 with a 100% finish rate. Along the way, he has captured the heavyweight, light heavyweight, and middleweight championships, making him MMA’s first-ever simultaneous three-division king.

In his last outing, he dispatched ‘The Dutch Knight’ Reinier de Ridder for the second time, securing a third-round TKO to claim the middleweight belt. As a heavyweight, his most recent victory came against former titleholder Arjan Bhullar.

Now, Malykhin will test himself against a world-class wrestler ready to cash in on his first shot at a ONE world title. Overall, ‘Reug Reug’ is a solid 6-1 with five of his six wins coming inside the Circle. In August, Kane shocked everyone with a stellar performance against previously undefeated MMA standout and former 16-time BJJ world champion Marcus ‘Buchecha’ Almeida at ONE Fight Night 13.

Also announced for ONE 169 in ‘ATL’ is a trilogy fight between current ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai and ‘Smokin’ Jo Nattawut. After Nattawut took Tawanchai to the limit in a critically acclaimed kickboxing clash at ONE Fight Night 15, the two tussled on June 7 in a Muay Thai clash for Tawanchai’s coveted title.

After five intense rounds of action, Tawanchai was declared the winner unanimously—a decision that drew the ire of fight fans inside Bangkok’s iconic Impact Arena and ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong.

“I thought Jo Nattawut won,” Sityodtong said during the ONE 167 post-fight press conference. “It was a very close fight, very close. But I thought Jo did enought to win. For me, I would have gone to damage. Tawanchai had more damage on him that Jo did.”

Tickets for ONE 169 go on sale on Friday, July 12 via Ticketmaster with pre-sale tickets starting on July 5.

Senegalese knockout artist Oumar ‘Reug Reug’ Kane is ready for a ONE heavyweight world title fight after scoring the biggest win of his mixed martial arts career thus far.

On Friday night, ONE Championship returned to the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok for ONE Fight Night 13 on Prime Video. The event featured a stacked lineup, including a highly-entertaining scrap between two of the promotion’s most notable heavyweight standouts, ‘Reug Reug’ and 17-time BJJ world champion Marcus ‘Buchecha’ Almeida.

Almeida went into the contest riding a four-fight undefeated streak, all coming via first-round finishes. As a result, ‘Buchecha’ undoubtedly went into the bout as the significant favorite, but in the end, ‘Reug Reug’ was able to withstand the ground game of the submission grappling superstar and punished his opponent over the course of 15 minutes.

The bout was by no means pretty with both men gassing out in the early going, but that didn’t stop the two warriors from giving it everything they had and earning the appreciation of fans watching around the world.

‘Reug Reug’ Calls for a Heavyweight Title Fight Following Impressive Win

With the victory, ‘Reug Reug’ is likely the next man in line for a heavyweight title opportunity. Speaking with the South China Morning Post following his win, Kane said:

“Inshallah! Yeah. Inshallah! I’m ready. Everything inshallah, I am ready. I am ready… He’s a good guy you know, I am ready to fight this guy… This is my belt. I am ready,” ‘Reug Reug’ said. “It doesn’t make sense for me to wait you know I shouldn’t be waiting. One Championship is my house and this is my belt so I should be fighting.”

Currently, Russian juggernaut Anatoly Malykhin is the holder of both the ONE heavyweight and light heavyweight world championships. In June, ‘Sladkiy’ got into a physical altercation with streaking heavyweight standout Amir Aliakbari. That led many to believe the Iranian wrestler would be the next man to challenge Malykhin, but after Friday night’s event inside the Mecca of Muay Thai, it’s hard to imagine anyone other than ‘Reug Reug’ stepping in with hopes of dethroning Malykhin.
