The 41-year-old "Lightning" Bibiano Fernandez is undoubtedly the most dominant champion in the youngweight, but in "ONE: Tigers Out" on February 11, the "Lightning" will face the toughest test of his career as his opponents are extremely dangerous. The Brazilian compatriot "Stone Fist" John Reinkel, who ranked first in the weedweight, proved his strength with successive KO and released the words: "Bibiano has passed its peak, and the chickweight will usher in a new era!" ”
Since his debut at the ONE Championship, Reinkel has wielded a "stone fist" that is unstoppable. In his debut, he defeated Tajikistan Sambo champion Gavlov in three legs. In November 2020, in "ONE: City Dueling Arena III", Reinker knocked out Kevin Bellingen, who was the number one "Silencer" in the weltweight at the time, followed by 4 minutes and 35 seconds in "ONE: Earth-Shattering III" in April 2021 KO American wrestling champion "Pretty Boy" Terry Watson.
As the most powerful challenger in the werderweight, Reinkel repeatedly called for battle against Bibiano, and the two were full of gunpowder, and Bibiano once wanted to teach "stone fist" in the street. Reinkel: "I fought for the golden belt, ready to create my own era. Bibiano got angry when he saw this and said he wanted to fight with me on the street. In the past, there were things like kicking stadiums in Brazil, but MMA has developed for so many years, it is already a professional sport, and I fight for my family, for this sport. I'm not a criminal, and if I want to fight, I'll go into the ring. I've always had a lot of respect for Bibiano, who is a world champion and has opened the way for a lot of Brazilians. His jiu-jitsu is great, but I'm confident of fending off his jiu-jitsu attacks! He had never met a heavy gunner like me. ”
Bibiano last defended his title on October 13, 2019, and was away from the field for a long time, which was not conducive to maintaining competitive form. Reinkel is 10 years younger than him, in the year of the fight. "As Bibiano hasn't played in a long time, I'm sure his peak is over. Bibiano's attack was no threat to me, he said to KO me but I couldn't see that he had that kind of power, a lot of people said before the game to knock me down and they wouldn't think so when they were hit by me. I knew he was going to use ground attack, but he couldn't subdue me. ”
"Stone Fist" once won 16 matches with KO, but his heavy punches could not intimidate Bibiano, and the current champion was convinced that he could defend the golden belt. "Reinker wants to say whatever he wants, and on the pitch I'll dominate everything because I'm the champion. He thinks I'm past my peak, but age isn't the only criterion for determining my state, it depends on how I train, whether I can maintain a healthy diet and a positive mindset. I prepared for a long time, and I found a strong heavy gunner to train with, not to be intimidated by his fists. I admit that Reinker's fists are heavy, but I also see his weaknesses and will use them to defeat him in battle. ”
Bibiano: "I don't think it's going to be five full rounds, he's always going to rush forward and I like that because most people flinch against me, it's going to be a cool fight. Reinkel also did not want to hit the verdict: "I never back down, I will try to end the game early, and I will not leave the victory or defeat to the referee's decision." ”
Two of Brazil's top boxers meet in a narrow way, both hoping to end each other, who do you think will be the final winner of the werders?
