Anatoliy Malykhin Crushes Kirill Grishenko, Seizes Interim Belt at One: ‘Bad Blood’

No one worked harder at the most recent One Championship card than referee Olivier Coste, who drew the assignment for every match of the night.

The One: ‘Bad Blood‘ main event saw Anatoliy Malykhin taking on Kirill Grishenko with the One interim heavyweight championship on the line. The interim belt situation arose following some failed contractual negotiations between the Singapore-based promotion and titleholder Arjan Singh Bhullar. Malykhin (10-0, 3-0 One) used his wrestling background to keep his opponent guessing for the first half of the opening round, as Grishenko (5-1, 2-1 One) stayed light on his feet and landed from afar.
