Arjan Bhullar-Anatoliy Malykhin Title Unification Bout Booked for One 161

Arjan Singh Bhullar and Anatoliy Malykhin will square off in a heavyweight title unification bout at One Championship 161.

The Singapore-based promotion confirmed the booking following an initial report on “The MMA Hour” by Ariel Helwani. One Championship 161 takes place on Sept. 29 at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore.

A four-time UFC veteran, Bhullar claimed the heavyweight crown with a second-round technical knockout victory against Brandon Vera at One Championship “Dangal” in April 2021. Bhullar has won four straight fights and 11 of 12 professional outings overall.

Malykhin, meanwhile, is undefeated in 10 professional appearances — including three triumphs under the One banner. He claimed the interim belt with a second-round KO of Kirill Grishenko at One Championship “Bad Blood” on Feb. 11.
