- ‘Sleep time, one round,’ interim champ Malykhin says, as ONE looks to finally crown an undisputed heavyweight MMA king
ONE Championship’s heavyweight MMA division will finally have an undisputed king, with Anatoly Malykhin and Arjan Bhullar’s long-awaited title fight officially set.
The pair will clash in the main event of ONE Fight Night 8 in Singapore on March 25, a source has told the Post.
The event will take place on Saturday morning at Singapore Indoor Stadium, and will be streamed live on the evening of March 24 on Amazon Prime Video in the US and Canada.
Indian-Canadian Bhullar (11-1) had indicated the fight was set, when he posted on Instagram this week. “Perfect start to 2023,” he wrote. “Contract offered and contract signed. See you guys live on Amazon Prime.”
“Sleep time, one round,” Malykhin (12-0) told the Post, echoing a similar refrain from fight week in Manila last month. It ultimately proved to be the case when he knocked out Reinier de Ridder in the first round at Mall of Asia Arena to claim the light heavyweight title.
