“The U.S. Fans Are In for a Treat… I Don’t See Any Boring Fights”: Former Double Champ ‘The Burmese Python’ on ONE Fight Night 6

Aung La “The Burmese Python” N Sang is prepared to get his second consecutive win and continue his upward trajectory in ONE Championship this Friday night at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand. The former two-division king takes on Gilberto “Giba” Gilvao at ONE Fight Night 6: Superbon vs. Allazov on Prime Video on January 13, and he recognizes that their catchweight brawl carries hefty significance.

A win over the Brazilian could see him gain huge momentum, earn his first back-to-back wins in almost three years, and perhaps push him closer toward another shot at the ONE Middleweight World Title he once owned.

Aung La N Sang eyes to continue his dominant streak after the rough patch

In order to score the crucial win, “The Burmese Python” has made changes to his game plan to ensure he stands a better chance. “Evolution is what I hope the fans see. An evolution to my game. That I can do everything. That I can do it at a high level, and that I’m a fan-friendly fighter – meaning that it’s a fight that fans will get to enjoy,” the 37-year-old shared.

After the heartache of losing the middleweight and light heavyweight crown to Reinier “The Dutch Knight” de Ridder in 2020 and 2021, respectively, “The Burmese Python” returned to the Circle and scored a quick knockout of Leandro “Wolf” Ataides. 

However, he suffered a loss to Vitaly Bigdash in their trilogy showdown seven months later, forcing him to go back to the drawing board.

Now on the back of his recent win over Yushin “Thunder” Okami, Aung La N Sang wants to show his fans that he remains a threat in the stacked middleweight division. Always the showman, he is also supremely focused on putting on another spectacular show for the North American audience to get them warmed up for ONE’s U.S. debut spectacle, ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs. Moraes III, on May 5 in Colorado.

“The U.S. fans are in for a treat. The whole card, I don’t see any boring fights at all. It’s going to be a great show for sure,” added “The Burmese Python.” Aung La N Sang is a veteran of ONE. He has seen it all and done it all at the Singapore-based promotion. 

He is probably one of the greatest authorities on what the organization has to offer, and he took the time to outline exactly why it has such a global appeal ahead of his return to the Circle.

“ONE Championship is exciting because it forces fighters to work for the finish,” he said. “We have yellow cards. No other promotion has yellow cards. And our fights aren’t scored by 10-9 rounds. It’s scored by the entirety of the fight. It makes it more interesting, for sure. And the [Muay] Thai guys – they’re aggressive guys. They always look for finishes.”
