ONE 166: De Ridder vs. Malykhin 2 Betting Analysis

Set your alarm clock for an early rise on Friday, as we have a big MMA event coming our way. ONE is outing in another big card on Friday morning, with their latest event taking place in Qatar, hence the rather odd start time.

It’s a bit of a different main card, as there are a lot of different fighting styles set to go on display. We are going to focus on the MMA portion of the proceedings, though, as there are 4 fights to break down, 3 of which are of the title fight variety. There is a lot of ground to cover here, so let’s dive right in, starting with the fight sitting just below the title fights on the main card with the betting odds for ONE Championship with their ONE 166: Qatar combat sport event.

Arjan Bhullar Vs Amir Aliakbari

We start this preview off with a Heavyweight bout that looks pretty unlikely to go the full distance, as both men involved have some serious stopping power. Bhullar is looking to bounce back from the loss he took in his last fight, while also trying to improve on his 11-2 record. Aliakbari has broken out of a mini slump rather nicely and comes into this bout on a run that has seen him win 3 in a row, taking his overall record to 13-3 in the process. This should be an absolute brawl, but I think it will be Aliakbari who comes away with the KO win on Friday morning.

Jarred Brooks Vs Joshua Pacio

The first of the 3 title fights us up next, with this one for the Flyweight Championship. This is a rematch, with Brooks scoring the unanimous decision win over Pacio in the last meeting at ONE164. Brooks comes into this one on a 7-fight win streak, while also sitting with a perfect 4-0 record under the ONE banner. Pacio is an impressive 21-4 in his career, and the good news is that he bounced right back with a win after losing to Brookes in their last meeting. I think we see this one go all the way again, with Brooks getting the nod.

Kai Thang Vs Thanh Le

Next up is a battle for the ONE Lightweight Championship, and once again, we have another rematch on our hands. Thang won the belt with a win over Le in his last bout, which means that his win streak now sits at 11, which includes a perfect 7-0 record under the ONE banner. Le is 14-3 overall and back to winning wats after bouncing back from the loss to Thang to win his next bout up. I am expecting another close fight here, but I am taking Thang to retain the belt with a decision win.

Anatoly Malykhin Vs Reinier De Ridder

We close the night out with another title fight and yet another rematch. Malykhin comes into this massive bout as the current Light Heavyweight champion, as he looks to extend his perfect record to 14-0. We can only hope that this one lasts longer than the previous meeting, with de Ridder going down in Round 1 in that one. That was the lone career loss for De Ridder, so it is going to be interesting to see how he bounces back on Friday morning. While this one might last longer, I still think we will see the same result as last time.
