Background

The world’s largest martial arts organization is bringing ONE 169: Malykhin vs. Reug Reug to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, and the card is topped by a trio must-see World Title fights.

In the main event, undefeated three-division king Anatoly Malykhin will defend his ONE Heavyweight MMA World Title against bruising Senegalese Wrestling Champion “Reug Reug” Oumar Kane.

Also, ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon will look to extend his five-year reign when he puts his gold on the line against fearless British striker Jacob Smith in a hard-hitting rematch.

Plus, all-time great Anissa Meksen and rising star Jackie Buntan will each try to make history when they square off for the inaugural ONE Women’s Strawweight Kickboxing World Title.

The event was to mark the promotion's first visit to Atlanta and third in United States since ONE 168 in September 2024. However, the event was moved to Bangkok due to partner obligations in Thailand.

A ONE Heavyweight World Championship bout between current champion (also the ONE Middleweight and Light Heavyweight Champion) Anatoly Malykhin and Oumar Kane is expected to headline the event.

In the co-main event is expected to take place a ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Championship bout between current champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Jacob Smith. The pair previously met at ONE 157 in May 2022, which Rodtang won by unanimous decision.

A ONE Lightweight World Championship bout between current champion (also the ONE Welterweight Champion and ONE Lightweight World Grand Prix winner) Christian Lee and undefeated Alibeg Rasulov was scheduled at the event. However, it was announced that the bout was moved to ONE Fight Night 26 on December 7 for unknown reasons.

A ONE Featherweight Muay Thai World Championship bout and trilogy between current champion Tawanchai P.K.Saenchai and Jo Nattawut was scheduled at the event. The pairing first met at ONE Fight Night 15 in the Kickboxing bout, where Tawanchai won by unanimous decision. Their second meeting took place at ONE 167 for the title, where Tawanchai defended the title by controversial majority decision. However, the bout was removed from the event due to Nattawut injury after losing via knockout against Superbon Singha Mawynn at ONE Friday Fights 81.

An inaugural ONE Women's Strawweight Kickboxing World Championship bout between former two-time Glory Women's Super Bantamweight Champion Anissa Meksen and Jackie Buntan is expected to take place at the event. The pair was previously expected to headline at ONE Fight Night 23, but Buntan pulled out due to injury.
