Oumar Kane, better known as “Reug Reug,” lit up the streets of Senegal.
Kane (7-1) returned to his native country last Friday as heavyweight champion of ONE Championship. Kane won the heavyweight belt in the main event of ONE 169 on Nov. 9 after fighting and beating Anatoly Malykhin in a split decision. It was his first championship fight and tile win under the ONE Championship banner.
Kane, who was a popular Senegalese wrestler before tuning to professional MMA, arrived in Dakar, Senegal last Friday and was received by a huge crowd of people proud of his triumph.
