REACTION: Reinier de Ridder vs Anatoly Malykhin 2!! - ONE 166 Main Event Confirmed

The main event for ONE Championship's return to Qatar is official with Reinier de Ridder putting his middleweight title on the line against Anatoly Malykhin.
Malykhin will look to make history as the first ever three weight world champion by beating RDR for a second time after taking his light heavyweight title over a year ago.
I also give my initial thoughts on the other match-ups announced for this card, including Jarred Brooks vs Joshua Pacio 2 for the strawweight title.

Don’t really like the way One is going with MMA a lot of their fighters are leaving and it seems like you said there divisions are being held up with inactivity or uncertainty. Not to mention there are a lot of rumors that One are in the red and may go out of business which is scary considering where we are considering the Bellator-PFL acquisition!

That is too much dehydration for Malykhin from HW to MW but still I think his body would rehydrate fight time and knock RDR once again

Cutting weight doesn't work like that at ONE
