A heavyweight bout between Brazilian jiu-jitsu legend Marcus Buchecha and Senegalese wrestler Oumar Kane — better known as “Reug Reug” — is off of Friday’s ONE Championship card in Singapore, the company announced Monday.
According to ONE, the heavyweight match will be rescheduled for a later event. A bantamweight clash featuring Chen Rui and Song Min Jong was elevated to the main card portion of the show.
Buchecha vs. Reug Reug was originally scheduled for April 2021 but eventually fell through. Kane was 2-0 in MMA with two knockouts to his credit when he was paired up against the Brazilian grappler. “Reug Reug” stopped Patrick Schmid on that card before losing weeks later to Kirill Grishenko.
Buchecha had to wait until September of that same year to finally make his MMA debut, which he won by submitting Anderson “Braddock” Silva in under three minutes. Buchecha then improved to 2-0 in the sport with another first-round submission, tapping Ji Won Kang this past December.
