Before Anatoly Malykhin makes his way to Atlanta to defend the ONE Heavyweight MMA World Title at ONE 169, he will be locked in for ONE Championship’s return to Denver. The Russian is amped for Jonathan Haggerty defending the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Championship against Superlek Kiatmoo9 on September 6. According to Malykhin, the collision of the sport’s two most dominant strikers will come down to who outsmarts the other.
“Haggerty is on a roll right now, but Superlek has also been performing beautifully. I think the winner will be the one who is mentally better prepared because both of them have proven their skills in the ring,” Malykhin told ONE.
