One Championship KILLING the One Prime Video broadcasted events, Stacking cards with the best fighters from MMA, Muay Thai, Kickboxing and Grappling.
One Prime Video 5 exciting card to sat the least with the Dutch Double Champ defending his Light Heavyweight title against Russian Heavyweight Champion dropping down to Light Heavyweight.
#1 Prospect in the world signed with One Champion and making his One Championship debut against Russian Middleweight.
Bunch of great fights but interested in two specific fights.
De Ridder Shooting to become Heavyweight Champion
Reinier De Ridder last two years, RED HOT dethroning Aung La Nsang for Middleweight and Light Heavyweight title. Dutch fighters well known for there kickboxing but complete opposite is an excellent grappler. Strangling opponents.
High level jiu-jtsu background lead to undefeated 16-0 record most wins by submission. List of wins include Aung La Nsang, Kiamrian Abbasov and Vitaly Bigdash. Defeating high level fighters and making it look easy. Nsang and Abbasov have a lot of respect for.
De Ridder defending his Light Heavyweight title against Interim Heavyweight Champion Anatoly Malykin, Testing himself against tough fighter whose cutting to Light Heavyweight. Definitely courageous to accept this fight.
“Whatever weight he comes in at, I’ll fight him regardless,” he said. “Let him come in 20 pounds heavier, it doesn’t matter. I’ll still finish him.”
Hard fight for De Ridder as Anatoly Malykhin background is WRESTLING. Accomplished wrestler to say the least Master of Sport in wrestling, 2013 Bronze Medalist for Russia Freestyle Wrestling competition. Secondly Anatoly has some VIKING DNA in him because this man is a giant. Every great fighter can be defeated and Malykhin can pull off the upset by KO in the first round.
“I think I can [get the finish] again, and I’ll finish the fight before the second round. I’ll go out there, and I’ll hunt for his head. I’ll chase him, I’ll punch him,” the Kemerovo native warned.
However we thought De Ridder was going to be upset in past fights but proven wrong. Upcoming matchup we can watch history in the making at One Prime Video 5.
“[Malykhin is] stocky. Of course, he is a lot shorter than I am. He will be a bit bulkier than I am, a bit heavier. But to be honest, he doesn’t bring anything special there in the wrestling department. We’ve seen in previous fights that he has a decent double. But I don’t really see him stopping anything else.”
