The former ONE Light Heavyweight and Middleweight World Champion will enter his May 5 battle with two first-round knockouts from his last two outings, giving him a hunger to make it a quick night at ONE’s on-ground debut show in the U.S.

Aung La N Sang lauded his opponent’s skills but was confident about his victory

Aung La N Sang shared, “I’m looking for a finish. Honestly, I’m looking for a grand finish. If the submission is there, I’ll take it, but I’m not going to force anything. I’m just going to look to break him and outwork him. I’ll just break him.”

“The Burmese Python” has done thorough research on his upcoming opponent and believes he has enough in his tank to overcome him, but that doesn’t mean he is underestimating what the Chinese warrior will bring to the Circle. It simply means he’s confident in his abilities and motivated to put on a show in front of his fans and family in America.

Aung La N Sang also has the added advantage of being based in North America, so he doesn’t have to take a long-haul flight to Asia or settle into a drastically different timezone.

Though he has become accustomed to it over the years, not having to make a long journey will be a welcome change when ONE arrives in Colorado. The Florida-based fighter added, “It’s going to be very exciting. No 20-plus hour flights, which I don’t mind now. I’m kind of used to it now. I just see it as a day for myself to relax, read a book, watch movies, and eat some snacks on the airplane. For me, it ain’t too bad anymore.”
