“I Want Him Out, I Want Him Gone” – Arjan Bhullar Opined His KO Victory Over Anatoly Malykhin Might Get Grander Due to the Two-Year Delay

Arjan Bhullar has dealt with all the noise from Anatoly Malykhin over the past two years, and he wants to finally put an end to it once and for all. The two giants are set to collide at the main event of ONE Friday Fights 22 on June 23rd to crown an undisputed ONE Heavyweight World Champion. 

Bhullar and Malykhin’s paths have gone on opposite trajectories since the former claimed the top prize in the division back in 2021. While the Indian-Canadian dealt with contract and health issues over the past two years, “Sladkiy” has gone on destroy everyone in his path to claim both the ONE interim Heavyweight and undisputed Light Heavyweight World Championships.

Arjan Bhullar wanted nothing but a knockout victory over his two-year awaiting opponent

Throughout his journey, the Russian monster has constantly called out Bhullar on social media and took a dig on him at every opportunity possible. Now that they are expected to finally get their hands on each other, Bhullar is eager to silence his rival by showing him why he is at the very top of the division. 

“He’s been in my life for two years. I want him out, I want him gone. I could have beat him two years ago but we’re here and we’re gonna beat him now. It’s a perfect fight to come back to,” he said in an interview with MMA Underground. 

“He’s done what he’s had to do in my absence, and kudos to him. He’s dangerous with his left hand, he’s dangerous with his right hand – two weapons primarily. I had Brandon Vera – he’s dangerous, he’s knocked guys out with his shin, with his knee, with his hands”.

“He’s good off his back, and he couldn’t do nothing to me. Much more danger there, and I stood up with him for a long time. So you could say whatever you want, at the end of the day, I’m slick everywhere it goes, and I can’t wait to show there’s levels to this.”

Arjan Bhullar revealed that this two-year delay would make his victory grander

Their clash appeared inevitable since late 2021, but a host of reasons delayed their actual fight.

He’s done what he’s done, and he’s had more success and confidence and he’s gonna come in with that. He’s got more eyeballs on him,” he said.
