ONE on Prime Video 5 results: Anatoly Malykhin crushes Reinier de Ridder in first to become two-division champion

Anatoly Malykhin becomes a two-division champion by viciously knocking out Reinier de Ridder in the first round.

It didn’t take long for [autotag]Anatoly Malykhin[/autotag] to claim another piece of ONE Championship gold.

In the main event of ONE on Prime Video 5, undefeated interim heavyweight champion Malykhin (12-0) dropped down from heavyweight challenge for Reinier de Ridder’s light heavyweight title, and took it from him in vicious fashion in the opening round.

The event took place at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines, and aired live on Amazon Prime Video.

The fight started quickly as De Ridder (16-1) rushed across the cage, looking to engage in the clinch. Malykhin was ready for his opponent’s quick advance and countered nicely with a few hard punches. After a brief reset, De Ridder went right back to the clinch game, but was unable to get Malykhin to the canvas.

Malykhin continued to land hard punches, putting De Ridder in a bad spot in the middle of the round. With every thudding blow that landed, the crowd reacted as if the end of the fight was near, as De Ridder did his best to survive with his back against the fence.

De Ridder fired back a few punches and kicks of his own, but they were not nearly as effective as Malykhin’s offerings. Then, a crushing overhand right from Malykhin found the chin, sending De Ridder to the mat. A few follow-up punches later, the referee stepped in to stop the fight.

Malykhin now holds titles in two divisions as the ONE Championship light heavyweight champion and the interim heavyweight champion. During his post-fight interview, Malykhin hinted at the possibility of dropping down to middleweight to take de Ridder’s other title, although a unification bout against Arjan Bhullar is on the horizon.

The result was the first loss of de Ridder’s professional career, who entered with seven wins under the ONE Championship banner, but he still holds the middleweight title.

Roberto Soldic set for promotional debut at ONE on Prime Video 5

Regarded as one of the best fighters outside the UFC, former KSW double champion Roberto Soldic is set for his ONE Championship debut.

Perhaps the most high profile recent addition to the ONE Championship roster has a date and opponent for his promotional debut.

Former KSW double champion [autotag]Roberto Soldic[/autotag] (20-3) will enter the ONE Championship cage for the first time Dec. 2 when he takes on [autotag]Murad Ramazanov[/autotag] (11-0). The welterweight fight will serve as part of ONE on Prime Video 5 at Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Considered by many MMA diehards one of the best fighters in the world outside of the UFC, Soldic held the KSW middleweight and welterweight titles prior to his exit. In 20 pro wins, the 27-year-old has 19 finishes and is regarded as an all-action fighter.

While Soldic hinted to MMA Junkie in February he expected to sign with the UFC. In March, Soldic met with UFC chief business officer Hunter Campbell backstage in London, but he ultimately chose ONE Championship, which he signed with in August.

Ramazanov, 26, is undefeated as a professional. He’s 3-0 in ONE Championship thus far with victories over Myung Ho Bae, Hiroyuki Tetsuka, and Zebaztian Kadestam.

No other bouts have been announced for ONE on Prime Video 5 at this time.
