“I Want to Get My Title Back” – Aung La N Sang Ready to Outwit Every Challenge on His Path to Another Middleweight Championship Reign

Former two-division king Aung La “The Burmese Python” N Sang is on a mission to clean out ONE’s stacked middleweight MMA division one by one until he can’t be denied a shot at gold. The Myanmarese icon will continue his march back to the top this Friday at ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs. Moraes III on Prime Video when he takes on “King Kong Warrior” Fan Rong, live from 1stBank Center in Denver, Colorado. 

Competing for the first time on U.S. soil – and on ONE’s U.S. debut – the beloved Myanmar hero hopes to extend his two-fight winning streak and take out one of the division’s most dangerous contenders in the process.

Aung La N Sang would welcome every fight on his way to the ONE Middleweight title

Aung La N Sang lost the ONE Middleweight World Title back in 2020 at the hands of reigning titleholder Reinier de Ridder. Ever since then, he’s been happy to take on any and all challengers to prove he deserves another crack at his Dutch rival.

The 37-year-old described his mentality over the past few years, “Everybody that comes through the door, I want to welcome them, I want to put on a statement, and I want to get everybody out of there until it’s time for me to get my title shot back.”

Perhaps surprisingly, Aung La N Sang is proud to call himself a gatekeeper. Rather than clamoring for a World Title shot every chance he gets, the former ONE Middleweight and Light Heavyweight World Champion says he’s prepared to clean out the division, no matter how long it takes.

Aung La N Sang wanted to be in the winning books to achieve another title shot

He said, “I want to keep the gate before I storm back into my castle. I want to beat everybody. I want to beat everybody, and I want to get my title back. Being a gatekeeper, people think you’re washed up. People think you should hang it up. I want to show that it’s not.” 

Of course, “The Burmese Python’s” focus remains on Fan and the stiff test he’ll present on Friday night.But without looking too far ahead, Aung La N Sang is confident that as long as he keeps winning – and winning in spectacular fashion – he’ll find himself fighting for the middleweight crown before 2023 is over.
