Oumar Kane and “Reug Reug” are a two different personas. A man of few words and a fierce fighter trapped inside 265 pounds of muscle and power, the Senegalese heavyweight became an overnight sensation in MMA’s Twittersphere in his very first official bout, earning him a shot at Asia’s ONE Championship.
An expert in lutte avec frappe, a traditional form of wrestling from Senegal, Kane walked through his 2019 professional MMA debut against Sofiane Boukichou with wild punches and takedowns, forever changing his life.
“I have a new coach and so many people know me because of that win,” Kane told MMA Fighting through a translator.
