A second ONE Championship card aired on Friday, with ONE 169 going down live on Amazon Prime Video with a heavyweight title fight topping the marquee.
Following the smaller ONE Friday Fights 86 (Friday morning for western fight fans), ONE 169 had a little something for everyone. Muay Thai star Rodtang was in action, though his fight against Jacob Smith had been marred by the man who had been champ missing weight. Not the first weight miss for Rodtang, but this one cost him his flyweight title and made him ineligible to win it back.
In kickboxing action, strawweights Jackie Buntan and Anissa Meksen faced off with a vacant title on the line. But it was the man who held three belts, Anatoly Malykhin, driving the card, looking to defend heavyweight gold against the physically imposing “Reug Reug,” properly Oumar Kane. MMA’s first triple champ, Malykhin had defeated Reinier de Ridder to claim light heavyweight gold, stopped UFC alum Arjan Bhullar to claim the heavyweight strap, then finished de Ridder again to capture a middleweight crown without missing a step.
