Anatoly Malykhin
Arjan Bhullar doesn't deserve a fight, he doesn't deserve to be in the best organization in the world. My next fight will be at 93 pounds. De Ridder took me to the next level. He wanted to own three belts, but now I want to own three belts or maybe four, who knows. I told you I'm going for all the belts - let them beware of me.
Malykhin met de Ridder in the ONE on Prime Video 5 tournament, held on the night of December 3 in the Philippines. In this fight Anatoly knocked out his opponent in the first round.
Malykhin came out in February of this year against Belarusian Kiryl Grishchenko. That fight ended in favor of Anatoly by knockout in the second round. On his account in mixed martial arts he had 11 wins and no defeats.
