Meeting statistics

The current form of Anatoly Malykhin

Anatoly Malyhin is the beauty and pride of Russian fighting sport, an open man who talks interestingly and hits even better. The 36-year-old is the only champion in history in three weight categories, simultaneously. He hasn’t been defeated in either, and all his victories have been spectacular. Malykhin is probably the best heavyweight MMA fighter at the moment on the planet. He has a record of 14-0 (10 wins by knock-out and four by submission) and he has finished 100% of his fights ahead of time.

Malykhin is a former wrestler of the Russian national team, a very high-level grappler, and has knockout power in his punches. He’s very athletic, fast, and impossible to stop. Malykhin has never lost even in amateur fights. His base is freestyle wrestling, but he rarely resorts to it in MMA, preferring to crush opponents in the standing position. But if he does get to the ground, he crushes his opponents there too. Malykhin usually finishes fights in the first, less often in the second round, but in the last two fights, his opponents managed to hold out until the third. This makes Arjan Bhullar and Reinier de Ridder superheroes.

The current form of Oumar Kane

Oumar Kane is a giant from Senegal, with terrifying muscle mass, a deadly punch, and not yet completely clear wrestling skills (he’s a champion in one of the national types of African wrestling, but no one yet understands what it is).

Kane also has a background in kickboxing, and in professional MMA he lost only once, to Kirill Grishchenko, by knockout, but somehow very strangely. He tried to wrestle with the Armenian the whole way, but he couldn’t, and after two rounds he was catastrophically tired. At the same time as the gong signaled for the break, he missed a punch somewhere in the chest, demonstratively collapsed, and refused to continue. In his last fight, which took place over a year ago, “Reug Reug” won by a decision over Marcus “Buchecha” Almeida, a fighter with a record of 4-0 at the time. Overall, Kane’s record is 6-1, four wins of which were achieved by a knock-out. His winning streak consists of three bouts.

Match analytics

It’s obvious that the dandy from Senegal will avoid exchanges and in any unclear situation will try to vulgarly hug Malykhin. It’s unlikely, of course, that such tactics will bring him success, and everything will end as always – Malykhin will finish him off quickly. We honestly don’t see how Kane will be able to defend himself from the onslaught of the Russian fighter, so the fight seems like an outright mismatch, which will end ahead of time.

Tip: Total 1.5 – under, with odds of 2.25 on Pari.
