Russia's heavyweight Anatoly Malehin, 33, is just one step away from realizing his dream of winning the world championship. In the just-concluded "ONE: Groundbreaking", it took him only 2 minutes and 57 seconds to punch Aamir Ali Akubari, a heavyweight wrestling world champion from Iran, to win the tenth victory of his career and his second victory in the cage. This wonderful victory won him the right to challenge for the heavyweight world championship.
Although the height of 180 centimeters can only be regarded as a small man in the heavyweight class, Marehin is full of explosive power and comprehensive technology. No one has been able to finish the game under Marehin's attack so far. 10 wins and 0 losses, 7 KO games, 3 downs, 100% finish rate, such a perfect record also seems to indicate that Marehin is likely to become the next heavyweight world champion.
Maleshin made his round-cage debut in "ONE: Fist of Fire II" in March this year, facing the 38-year-old Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Alexander Machado, Who firmly controlled his opponents on the ground, hitting 84 hits in 3 minutes and 28 seconds to win the TKO – the most hit hits in a single heavyweight competition.
When boxing fans thought that Marehin was only good at the ground, Marehin once again shocked the world with his excellent boxing skills. Although 12 centimeters shorter than the heavyweight wrestling world champion Amir, Malexin's fist was as fast as the wind, beating Amir to no avail. Amir's weaknesses are slow movements, a fragile jaw. I would just let him fall asleep on the field. Marehin did what he said, and brought a shock KO.
"When I first saw the Russian fighting legend Fido Emlenko play, I made up my mind that I would follow in his footsteps and embark on the path of legend." Maleshin only needs to beat active champion Ajan Bullard to achieve this goal. Like Amir, Blair is a wrestler by training. Marehin: "My coach always tells me that you're White Tyson and it's easy to KO opponents, which gives me confidence. I feel like I'm much faster and stronger than Braal and thanks one championship gives me this opportunity, I'm on my way to the championship goal! I believe I can win the world championship for Russia and defend it for a long time! ”
Ajan Blair watched the game and talked about his thoughts on the challengers. "It was a wonderful game, Amir had obvious holes in the stand-up fight and Malehin seized on that. Marehin's boxing skills are very good, he is a strong challenger, and his professional record is proof of this. I'm looking forward to this defending title, but I'm not Amir, I have the skills and spirit that Amir doesn't have, and this game also allows me to see Malehin's weaknesses, I won't stand still like Amir, I'll take advantage of the weaknesses of the other side to win. I have a lot of ways to deal with Marehin and this defending battle won't last long. Eventually I would raise my victorious arm and Marehin would get his first taste of defeat. ”
