Malykhin predicted a similar outcome to their first fight during his appearance at the ONE 166 pre-fight press conference.
“I’m ready for this Friday. I’m gonna go and get my third belt,” he said. “I’m gonna knock him out the same way I did before. I’m thankful for this opportunity. I cannot explain how excited I am to be here on Friday and show everybody what I’ve got.
“Three-belt time, three-belt time. Look at this right hand — this is gonna knock him back out to sleep this Friday.”
Meanwhile, “The Dutch Knight” plans on keeping things low key leading up to the rematch, where he’ll look to correct his first career loss.
“[This fight] is about one thing — he beat me last time, he hurt me,” de Ridder said. “I’ve got a year to prepare for this, I grinded every single day, and I’m ready to showcase my skills this time.
“I’m planning to be a bit more humble this time... I believe I have the skills to finish him.”
